Have you tried compiling the driver from source off 3ware's website? There's a pretty easy perl script included to compile it included with the download.

Seth -- I just installed RHEL 4 AS, and the 3w-9xxx is included. But
I'm suspicious. I have _really crappy performance on my raid array
now. I don't have any numbers with me now, but for example, it takes
about 20-25 minutes to format a 260G partition. Read write is
horrible too. I haven't had time to troubleshoot yet (or contact RH,
since this box has support). So the driver is there, but tweaking may
be necessary.
