I have Promise SATA300 TX2plus:

http://www.promise.com/product/product_detail_eng.asp?segment=Non-RAID%20HBAs&product_id=138

Works out of the box without any special setup in my OpenSUSE 10.1
server, kernel 2.6.16. That's more than a year old distribution and any
recent distro should have no problems with it either.
