Subject3ware 7500 RAID problems....
Date
I recently upgraded to RedHat 9.0 only to find that my 600GB RAID system no
longer works. It worked fine with RH 8.0, however once I upgraded, it no
longer came up cleanly and I got lots of error messages during boot.

I contacted RedHat and they said to try a fresh install, which I did-and got
the same thing. Currently I am running RH 9.0 with the 2.4.20-9 kernel.
I read through the list archives regarding other's problems with 3ware, and
while at first it sounded like the same problems I am having, when I went to
the Western Digital site to download the firmware (as suggested in the
post), I found that it was only for 180GB and 200GB drives. All my drives
in my RAID array are 120GB.

The western digital firmware upgrade page is here:
http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_admin=1&p_
faqid=913&p_created=1047068027

The kernel thread I am referring to is here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=104854143005751&w=2

Any ideas? My system worked fine with RH8 and there have been no hardware
changes. I checked the ARRAY's integrity with the 3ware tools and it
reported ok.

Here's a snipit of my boot log regarding the 3ware controller (there should
be only one big partition (sda1)

I have A LOT of stuff on there I need to get to, if anyone has any advice on
how to get it working again, please let me know. I did try to go back to
RH8, but it just sat there after I select "no I don't want to initialize
/sda1 and destroy all data).

Thanks.
