There is not an easy way to build you a driver disk or explain how to install the driver with the existing system. You need to look at what's involved.
Building the driver on an existing system with the same revision kernel on a disk you can get to without the driver. Getting the driver into /lib/modules/2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/scsi Getting the driver installed in the initrd image for booting Testing this image and the driver. Creating a floppy with this driver so you can install from it.
I suggest that the easiest way to do this might be to leave the existing array in place and just add the driver from source or put a separate boot disk on the machine on an IDE port.
We hope to have a machine for testing and building the Centos 3.3 and 3.4 drivers soon but it may not be available for a while.
Sorry I can't help more.

I have seen that the 3w-9xxx is build in in the 2.6.10 kernel. Maybe a way is to update my 2.4 kernel to 2.6.10?
But i dont know that this is a good way. I have many software running and i don´t know that all software will running after the update.
