Re: [CentOS] CentOS5, kernel update and 3ware driver

The system _appears_ to work fine with the updated kernel and the driver module from 3ware that was made for the original kernel. But this is a machine that is supposed to be very reliable, so I'm wondering, do I have to rebuild the driver for the new kernel, or can I just use the existing driver version without problems? The emphasis here is on reliability.

just as these .ko worked fine in centos-4 from kernel to kernel, they should really continue to work fine in centos-5, you wont need to rebuild them at all, till such time as this driver gets adopted upstream into the distro kernel and you dont need it anymore :)
