Hi, I'm sorry, I messed up the mailing list addresses - anyways, it's a bit centos related and the thread touches the question "why on earth does my 3ware 9550SX-LP controller work under centos and why doesn't it work under xen?" ;-) See http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-09/msg00760.html for the discussion thread. BTW, has anybody an idea about this issue?
