WOLK - Working Overloaded Linux Kernel
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wolk

The WOLK's are stable and development kernels, containing many useful
patches from many projects. Use the Server Edition in production,
Workstation Edition at your own risk. Goal: Stability, Scalability,
Performance and Security.

takze patch pre 2.4.20 funguje a AIC79xx funguje ... nefunguje vsak
Adaptec HostRAID, ktorym som urobil hardverovy RAID-1 ... budem ho
musiet nahradit softverovym (linuxovym) RAID-1

v jadre 2.5.66 som akurat nasiel:
rgrep -i hostraid linux-2.5.66

linux-2.5.66/drivers/pci/pci.ids:	
	8092  ASC-29320 U320 w/HostRAID
	
linux-2.5.66/drivers/pci/devlist.h:	
	DEVICE(9005,8092,"ASC-29320 U320 w/HostRAID")

takze je v zozname The Linux PCI ID Repository:
http://pciids.sourceforge.net/iii/?i=9005
http://pciids.sourceforge.net/iii/?i=90058092

ale zatial nie je podpora pre Adpatec HostRAID v jadre ;-(

Q: Does Adaptec?s Ultra320 SCSI product line include RAID data
protection?

Yes. Adaptec offers the only Ultra320 SCSI controller family to feature
integrated striping and mirroring (RAID 0, 1) and hot spare support to
bolster data protection and maximize system performance and uptime.
Adaptec?s HostRAID also supports four hard disk drives and two arrays
per channel to provide the most integrated RAID storage capacity in the
industry.
