There is support for Hp Raid, but under kernel 2.2.1 it is not very
stable.

You have to apply the patch you'll find on ftp://ami.com. Compile de
Kernel 2.0.36 and a MEGARAID support will appear under SCSI section,
wich is compatible with HP Netraid. In Kernel 2.2.x this support is
included.

There is a little help document inside the patch.  I don't really know
much about this, since I've never used an HP Netraid before. I'm sorry I
can`t help you anymore.
