Does this mean that we can update the kernel alone? I mean does kernel-smp-2.6.9-42.EL.x86_64.rpm have the driver built in?.
Thanks Rajeev

Is anyone having issues with these particular cards (especially the newer SATAII variant) and the stock CentOS kernels? Are they well supported enough such that a "yum update" suffices to keep them synced up with
patches
without having to hand edit the kernel or build special modules from 3Ware
each time?
Up to centos 4.3, the 9500 cards benefit from a driver upgrade and the 9550 cards demand one. In the 4.4 kernel, however, the driver was upgarded and should handle all cards quite well out of the box.
