3ware 9000 Storage Controller device driver for Linux v2.26.04.010 for kernel 2.6.9-22.ELsmp x86_64 none

Description Robinson Tiemuqinke 2006-03-26 02:14:04 UTC 
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.
