hi. i checked my gentoo linux 1.4 cd1 and i found that there is a 3ware kernel module is available! try 'modprobe 3w-xxxx'... i checked the file /proc/config (it is the current kernel-config) for the occurence "3W" and it shows that 3ware support is done via a kernel module. the name of the module is, as seen above, "3w-xxxx.o" this should help, i think... martin
I do have a server running Gentoo 1.4 and this same board in a RAID-1 config, so it does work - but it's been awhile since the install so I'm a bit fuzzy on how I did it. I do remember that the process is very different depending on whether you are doing a mirrored or striped install. Which RAID level are you going for?
Some advise: watch your boot screen and record which firmware you have on your board, as that affects which 3ware utilities you can use. They do have a command line client, in addition to the web based one that was shipped on the documentation CD but I had to search for it on their web site (look for tw_cli).
Good luck, Dave
