Notes:
  • Dd = driver diskette.
  • If the driver is included in the Linux distribution, then the 3ware controller will be automatically detected during installation and you will be able to boot from units attached to the 3ware controller or use the 3ware controller as secondary storage.
  • If a particular Linux distribution has a driver for the 9500S (linux kernel 2.6.8 or newer) or 9550SX(U) (linux kernel 2.6.14 or newer), then you should use the in kernel driver. Do not use the 3ware 2.6 linux driver source to compile a new driver.
