Does anyone know if it works with the regular 3ware kernel sata driver or does it require a driver disk during installation? From what I can tell, it can use the existing "3w-9xxx" driver. But you
should definitely build the new 9.3.0.1 release (as well as upgrade the 3DM2 release) to support the added capabilities of the added PowerPC.
The built in (into 2.6.9-22.EL ) 3w-9xxx drivers work with : 0x13c2 0x1001 and 0x1002 boards but the 9550sx shows up as :
0x13c1 0x1003 "3w-9xxx" "3Ware 9500 series Storage Controller"
grab the latest drivers from their website, build and use. works fine.
I have a driver disc image for anaconda that works with the CentOS4 way of doing things ( you need a differnet install time and run time kernel module ). If anyone is interested, let me know offlist. I'll err *cough* *cough* help out.
Reason why I am not posting it online anywhere :
