Running 3.4-STABLE with the sym driver here, on a dual processor Proliant
3000 system. It's working very well. I have no experience with RAID on this
hardware, though.

If you use the builtin SCSI controllers: Please use the sym driver, not 
the ncr driver. The difference in stability is significant (currently 104
days uptime with the sym driver - we used to have a crash about once per
week or so with the ncr driver).
