I've been using a Tekram DC390F for several months now (under 3.1R) and it's been fine. I had to add controller ncr0 # Tekram SCSI card to my kernel config; I also added device cd0 #SCSI CD-ROMs because I was adding a SCSI CD drive along with the Tekram. DANGER! The above is good under 3.1R - these names might have changed in 4.x - consult someone who knows. Anyway, when you reboot after compiling the new kernel, you should see something like "ncr0: rev 0x26 int a irq 5 on pci0.18.0" fly past you on the screen.
