xen as of version 3.0.2 includes kernel 2.6.16 which seems to include version 2.26.02.005: 3w-9xxx.c:#define TW_DRIVER_VERSION "2.26.02.005" Does this help you to find out more?
Yep -- that's a rather old version, which is especially bad for the 9550 series boards. CentOS 4.4 has version 2.26.04.010.
Well, I downloaded the driver from 3ware, but the newest driver I could find was v2.26.02.007. version 2.26.04.010 must be something specific to centos (that makes centos so stable with that device ;-) )!? btw, I feel like all these pilgrims pilgering to magic fountains to get the water from there because it reliefs pain from peoples' back. :)

And I have a disappointing message: the kernel dump even arrives earlier when doing an mkfs.ext3
Whereelse can I have a look? Should I unpack the kernel-2.6.9-42.0.2.EL.src.rpm, apply the patch and get that source to include it into xen or won't it work as of centos specific patches? Thanks - Michael
