After having trouble with other brands, I have settles on 3ware 8500 series SATA raid controllers for use with Fedora Core 3, and have several systems running with it. They installed easily and run well.
Last week I ordered one more and my supplier told me that this series has been discontinued, replaced by the 9000 series. I've googled to see if this series is supported by the same, built-in driver that is currently working for me on FC3 32 and 64 bit installations, but without any answers.
Has anybody got a 3ware 9000 series SATA RAID card in use with FC3? Does it use the same 3ware driver built into the distribution?
the 9000 uses the 3w-9xxx driver instead of the 3w-xxxx driver. it works fine. I think the installer requires that you grab the 3ware 9000 fc3 driver disk which is attached to this knowledge base article:
