Oh, I get it now. Adaptec's Hostraid line isn't really hardware raid, it
still needs host OS support.
Well, it did look like hardware RAID at first (up until the point when I
actually tried to boot Fedora). After enabling RAID, subsequent POST
enumerated a single device, on the lowest SCSI ID of the two drives.

I can't find SCSI stuff on 3ware.com. They look to be in the business of
ATA RAID only.
Looks like my only option appears to be LSI Megaraid 320-1.
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2140.nptlsmp/kernel/drivers/scsi/megaraid.o
That should work..
