I decided to give it a go on my 9500S-12 machine. I was running -34.0.2 with the downloaded driver; my machine hung on reboot to -42.0.2, but a hard poweroff/poweron cycle fixed that nonsense; it had hung booting the initial initrd load on the new kernel. (just some FYI for remote rebooters).
Drivers: 2.6.9-34.0.2.ELsmp: v2.26.02.001 2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp: v2.26.04.010
I was previously running v2.26.04.009 tarball, so a small upgrade came with the kernel. I just looked at 3ware.com, and this new driver version isn't downloadable yet. Hmmm.

Strange .. I have 2 systems with 9500s-4LP's and they rebooted fine.
I wonder if you guys might have different firmware revs.
I cajoled my system integrator into sending me both 9500 and 9550 cards so I can decide which works better for us and send the extras back. The 9550 allegedly has better performance for RAID5 so I'm hoping those work out OK.
