Avoid this card, even if you can figure our the PROM magic to get it to
boot (IIRC, whoever posted that later said that it was causing him all
sorts of other problems).

Barring the PROM issues, both Matt Green and I have had very poor luck
with these cards.  In my case panics under loads where I was using both
channels -- I don't know if it was because of that or simply just a
function of the load... the panic were due to mysterious accesses to
areas of PCI space the driver shoul not have been touching... I never
got much further with it than that and instead bought a Sil680-based
card on Matt's suggestion.  That's been running a RAID1 with a disk
on each channel just peachy.

See the thread here (and tech-kern) a little while ago.
