3ware 9000 Series SATA Raid and Fedora Core 2 ?

[Erwin Cloostermans]

And this initial ramdisk is really used and not the older one with the other
3ware module? I ask because /boo/initrd/ is not a default path that Fedora
uses. It works but you have to be sure the path to the initrd.img file in
the grub.conf matches this path. The default path - used in /etc/grub.conf -
is /boot/initrd-2.6.8-1.521smp.img.

/etc/grub.conf contains
	Initrd /initrd-2.6.8-1.521smp.img

I made the ramdisk again with
	/sbin/mkinitrd -v - f /boot/initrd-2.6.8-1.521smp.img 2.6.8-1.521smp
All went well and there were some messages saying the 3w-9xxx module is used

After a reboot /dev/sdb is stil there !

After shutdown/power off/power on, everything still ok !

In /etc/sysconfig/hwconf there is 
	driver: 3w-xxxx
That's also what I see when using the hardware browser GUI, but it seems to
work anyway.

Thanks a lot to everybody who helped me out on this.
It's a nice experience to meet people who are willing to help without having
to pay them. I've learned a lot from your answers.

Now I'm going to find out how to mount the array to my file system and share
it with a windows client. I guess this will not be my last message :-).
