Here are the version numbers I get after installing the 9.2.1.1 release:
Model 9500S-4LP Firmware FE9X 2.08.00.003 Driver 2.26.03.019fw BIOS BE9X 2.03.01.052 Boot Loader BL9X 2.02.00.001
A bit confusing. I thought I saw a map of code set releases to various version numbers but I couldn't find it on 3Ware's site.

Claims to have fixed the write performance issues with multiple volumes. Haven't tried it personally (I do not have a 9500S card, and I have only installed one once for a client).
NOTE: This (9.2.1.1) is an actual, formal, supported release -- not an unsupported engineering release.

They're in the Release notes you can get from 3ware's download page. Note that they have a 2.08.00.005 firmware version that is *not* bundled in the 'fw' version of the driver, and the release notes say that you need that version of the firmware (or newer) to fix the multiple unit cache problem (the performance killer).
We have drives that "Degrade" when under medium load and tech support from 3ware says to install the lattes driver and firmware for the card to fix the problem. Running CentOS 4.1 2.6.9.11 Kernel. After downloading the source file and running make I receive scrolling error messages. Has anyone installed this on Cent OS? Should the source be used or will one of the prebuilt version work? Please advise. Thanks! -Jay

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Way to many error messages. What is the proper way to install the driver? Thanks

Goes into detail on how to install the 3ware drivers from source.
In short you must upgrade 3dm(2), then the driver, then the firmware.
IN THIS ORDER!
The 3ware knowledge base is your friend.

The error message would be helpful, but I'll wager a guess. Did you modify the makefile to point at the right directory? By default, it doesn't. I commented out the first line and added:
SRC := /usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-11.EL-smp-i686
I believe you need the appropriate kernel-devel (or kernel-smp-devel) for it to work as well. It compiled for me just fine (I haven't installed it yet, though).
