Description of problem: 3Ware/amcc sata raid controller card for PCI-E, model 9650SE, is not recognized at all by RHEL 5 or 5.1 I had the same problem with RHEL4 and it was resolved by errata in 4.5 Now 5 needs fixed (and I suppose fedora rawhide so that RHEL6 won't also have the same problem in two years) see bug 220850 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3w-9xxx.c is 2.26.02.007 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Installer won't recognize drives. Actual Results: drives not found and kernel panic after install Expected Results: works like a charm Additional info: Upstream maintainer: Tom Couch <linuxraid> very helpful with bug number 220850
I just upgrade one of my machines to RHEL 5 Update 1. Where Update 0 failed to detect the card, the included 3w-9xxx.ko module of Update 1 detected my 9650SE-8LPML and the machine seems to be working just fine.
Fixed in Current release (5.1). Now if I only had the time to test this with Fedora...
