I am running RHES4 with the 2.6.9-34.Elsmp kernel and a 3ware 9500S-4LP card, firmware FE9X 2.08.00.009. Two seagate drives in RAID 1 mirror. Lately the drive on port1 has been having problems and I have been forced to rebuild the array weekly. 3Ware support has suggested I upgrade the driver since there is a gap now between the current firmware and the older driver. So I have followed the steps below but just cant seem to get the new driver to load and I am at a loss as to fix this. 3Ware has not been much help and so I thought I might find some help here. Any suggestions?
