Yah, I know. LSI is great if you are an IT guy from the data center, but screw you if you are the end consumer. I have dealt with them a number of times. they get better if they get to know you and you know how to work them. You have to progress past that tier one support first.

Is this not the operative part of the SYSLOG?

I have had the "Driver 'sd' needs updating message in the past too.

This is gonna take some time, there are some major issues with this card, from NASLite-2 to Ubuntu64 to Slackware13, all the same result.

So, give me another day or so, takes time reformatting every time.

Kinda what I feared was going to happen. My fear is that it may take a compile from source to get these things to work.

Here is a link to the drivers for the card you have Ralph.

http://www.3ware.com/support/downloadpageprod.asp?pcode=9&path=Escalade9500SSeries&prodname=3ware%209500S%20Series

Hope this helps if you hadn't found it yet.

Since the 3Ware 9690SA is identified by NASLite as 9xxx series. I hope also the issues are generic, and that 9690SA is included in the 9xxx solution.

Good luck.

Your are so appreciated mate cos I wouldnt even know were to start on this one so if we get a result then great if not I have wasted cash on the 3 ware card and will have to resort to probably an Adaptec one.

Cheers for your efforts and keep up the excellent work.

Mike,

The kernel tree driver originated from the 3ware one, and has some modifications for newer cards.

Drivers not the issue, however I did find a bad kernel bug when trying to format a 3TB raid 0

I've got this pretty well solved, let me get with Tony and I'll post my findings.

Ok, good news.

I finally sorted this all out, basically this card requires a partition type of GPT id:ee , instead of Linux id:83. Also, make sure 2TB carving is OFF in the card bios.

I created a 2.5TB partition and formatted it successfully, below are parts of the syslog and a screenshot. I spoke to Tony about a fix and we should have something in a few days. I'll send it out to PieterB and Dougal1957 when it's ready for testing.
