Re: [Xen-users] 3ware 9650 support for Xen

[Steven Timm <timm@xxxxxxxx>]

For what it's worth, I'm running the stock kernel-xen out of
rhel 5.2/centos 5.2/sci. linux 5.2 and it is recognizing the 3ware 9650
card just fine.  Red hat 5 claims to be a 2.6.18 kernel but they have
back-ported a lot of stuff into it.  Before i did that, and I was
using the 2.6.18 kernel out of the xen tarballs from xen.org, I couldn't 
see the 3ware either.
