Well, the new Compaq ProLiant (DL360, DL580) servers appear to be based
on the same (family of) ServerWorks chipsets (see
	http://www.serverworks.com/news/press/000606.html
)
and Compaq explicitly lists RedHat 6.2 as being supported on the new ProLiants.

Also, a quick grep through the kernel 2.4.0-test2 source indicates that
there are the "proper" constants defined for this chipset.

But, all this is no substitute with hands-on experience.

Does anybody have any Linux experience with this chipset and/or these
motherboards and especially with respect to 64-bit/66 MHz PCI performance?

Thanks,
