Humm. I was expecting the newer 5.2 kernel to have an updated 3ware driver but modinfo indicates that this hasn't changed. It still shows as 2.26.02.008 vs the CentOS 4.6 kernel having 2.26.05.007.
Maybe they updated the driver but not the version number?
Does the 3ware driver 2.26.02.008 work well enough with the 9650 or are we still expected to go get an updated driver from 3ware right after doing an install?
Thanks everyone.
