Yes, I have. The SUSE's driver loaded OK using "modprobe 3w-9xxx.ko"
but the kernel didn't see the RAID. I used "hwinfo --disk" to test
it.

It seems so. The kernel-source-2.6.13-15.7 contains version
2.26.02.002. The 3ware version is named 9.3.0.3. I couldn't find the
corresponding source code so I just guess that the number to be
compared is 3.0.3.
