The 120GB 8MB cache version (6Y120P0) is fine under FC2.

I needed to change the default BIOS access method from "auto" to "LBA", but apart from that, all's well.

Added to existing system by yours truly. Works seamlessly with the above distributions of Linux while hanging off a Promise Technology 20269 (rev 02) controller plugged into a PCI slot on this Asus K7V motherboard. Properly recognized during clean system installation also.

160GB version works great too. Linux can use all 160GB, even though BIOS only uses 28-bit LBA. That's why I love linux :)
