3ware now provides driver disk for CentOS. A couple of months ago, I had to add support for the 3ware 9550sx. The driver disk provided for CentOS 4.1 work perfectly.
I now need to add support for the 3ware 9550sx for CentOS 4.3 x64. Although the driver disk is available, it doesn't seem to work. Anaconda just can't find the 3w-9xxx module. This is the same seutp as CentOS 4.1 (which works) so I'm not sure how x64 is different. The driver disk contains the following files:
modinfo modules.cgz modules.deppcitable rhdd
Any help is appreciated.

The driver seems to be for RedHat 4 U2 Which would coincide with Centos 4.1. You would need to find a disk of Centos 4.1 x86_64.

Your math does not resemble the math the rest of us use. RedHat 4 U2 equates to Centos 4.2. The numbers line up quite well.
I simply rebuilt the driver disk on a CentOS system. Now it works. The drivers are built differently on RHEL 4 U3 vs CentOS 4.3?

The drivers are not built differently, and RHEL drivers should work with the centos kernel, but they must be identical kernel versions. Using the RHEL 4 U1 or U2 disk on CentOS 4.3 will not work.
