Description of problem: The default kernel for ES 4.2 could not detect 3ware 9500SX-12 RAID card. after download the 9.3.0.3 driver from 3ware.com and compiled against the default kernel, it reports odd problems. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.9-22.EL kernel-smp-2.6.9-22.EL How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a Redhat Enterprise 4 Update 2 machine with the CDs or ISO files. 2. boot the machine up but it doesn't report the drives behind 3ware 9500SX-12 RAID cards. 3. download the driver from 3ware.com and compile it, load it with insmod, it detects the drives. But reports lots of erros in /var/log/messages regarding the size. error messages are attached.
