I have a 3ware 9xxx card - you'll want to run kernel 2.6.8-rc1 or higher to get fully supported in-kernel or module support. the source code from their website is a pain to get working. i had them even examine my machine personally.
just so you know - it might save you some hassle later on. their low level drivers are part of the linux kernel tree from 2.6.8-rc1 and later for the 9xxx series. - mike On Wed, 4 Aug 2004, Peter Cordes wrote: > On Mon, Aug 02, 2004 at 06:55:30PM +0200, Miham KEREKES wrote: > > Hi All, > > > > We're experiencing some problems regarding installing debian-amd64 on a > > dual-Opteron 244 machine w/ 8G RAM.
