BTW, Matt telling you to wait for Centos 4 is not a solution. CentOS 4 is based on kernel-2.6.9-5.EL.i686.rpm - to the best of my knowledge this DOES NOT contain the 3w-9xxx drivers. The drivers have been added to 2.6.10 and later.
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.
