I'm trying to do a fresh install on a new server that has a 3ware 9000 controller. I followed the instructions on the 3ware manual and used a floppy with the drivers for RH WS3 (Update 2) but it doesn't work. After it asks me to load the disk it reads for a while and then it says it did not find any drivers that pertain to this system. I tried loading the 3w9xxx driver unsuccesfully, it does no recognize the drives. Has anybody succesfully installed Centos-3 on a server with a 3ware 9000 controller? How? I have another machine that does not have a raid controller (and I'm installing Centos right now) that I can use to ciompile the drivers or whatever is needed.

Because 3Ware drivers have been included with the kernel for a couple years now. I've never had to look outside my distro for them. Even on good old debian stable! Francois

The driver disk for the 3ware 9500 for CentOS 3.3 can be downloaded at the link below (easy registration required): http://www.integratedsolutions.org/drivers.html If you need the driver disk for CentOS 3.1 reply again here and I'll try and find the one I have.
