[CentOS] CentOS-4 + 3ware 7810 not quite working

The module loads and the disks are accessible no problem, but the 3dm 
monitoring utility runs for about 30 seconds before the processes just 
disappear.  Nothing in messages.

I tried updating to the latest firmware but it made no difference.  Has 
anyone gotten the 3dm utility working on centos4?  Is this a 2.6 thing?
