... I am going to buy that card. Have you tried to force a load of this driver after booting from CD?
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.
Is it possible that 3w kernel module in SuSE distro is simply outdated and recognize only older cards?
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. -- A.M.
