Well, 3ware 9XXX isn't in the mainline Kernel as of yet. 3ware just got bought by a company and since the new stuff came out since the drivers have not been as "lovely" as possible, as compared to how nice the previous 3ware kernel module did.
Yeah, I eventually figured that out my lots of googling and comparing the sources.
Soon. You can get the drivers from them. INstall a "base system" on a PATA disk (used) and then compile and reboot with the new drivers...
The problem is I don't have abas system to install onto, unless I recycle the current system. I'm guessing all I need to do is copy the files over to the RAID1 partitions, chroot and install a LILO boot block...?
Then you can chroot install on the Card and then install the same kernel and then install grub. From there, it is just a matter of getting it to work.
Which is a bit of a shame, since I'd really like to start with the new sarge release. But I figured the only way I could do that would be to create my own custom kernel and boot media... which might be interesting...
