Here I'm again. I still have some problems. I did a fresh install from the cd images available as iso files (kernel 2.6.5-1.358) I edited /etc/yum.conf (to download from a local mirror server instead of the primary fedora server) Updated my system with yum update to kernel 2.6.8-1.521 In /etc/modprobe.conf I replaced alias scsi_hostadapter1 3w-xxxx With alias scsi_hostadapter1 3w-9xxx In a terminal window I typed /sbin/modprobe -r 3w-xxxx /sbin/modprobe 3w-9xxx To remove the old driver and load the new one At that moment I'm able to see my raid disk as /dev/sdb (The sata drive connected to the main board is /dev/sda) In a terminal window I typed /sbin/mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd/2.6.8-1.521smp.img 2.6.6-1.521smp But after a reboot the old driver 3w-xxxx is loaded again and /dev/sdb is gone In kernel startup log I see a message 3ware Storage Controller device driver for Linux v.1.26.00.039 3w-xxxx No cards found I did this for both kernels: 2.6.8-1.521smp and 2.6.8-1.521 How can I make my Linux load the 3w-9xxx driver at startup instead of the old 3w-xxxx ????

You removed the entry for your motherboard SATA adapter (ata_piix) from modprobe.conf, so the root filesystem can't be accessed. -- Markku Kolkka markku.kolkka@xxxxxx How stupid can one be :-(( At least now I know what the first scsi_host_adapter was for :-) Erwin -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
