Thanks Allen. I tried that and the driver on the CD-ROM set appears to old version of the 3ware product, not the 8605 which I have. The driver generates scsi errors and eventually dies. I suppose the right approach here is to buffer CD-ROM in memory, and use insmod to load the module from a copy on CDROM.
