> 3ware's 5000-series and 6000-series controllers have been
supported since kernel 2.2.15. Support for the 7000-series
controllers and RAID5 on the 6000-series controllers requires
kernel 2.4.5 or 2.2.20 or better. Also make sure to use a
recent firmware for RAID 5, since older firmware revisions
(and older versions of the driver) can cause data
corruption when a RAID 5 array runs degraded. 8000-series
SATA cards also work fine with recent 2.4.x or 2.6.x kernels.
9000-series cards are supported with the 3w-9xxx driver
(instead of the older 3w-xxxx driver).

RAID 1+0, RAID 3, and RAID 5. Use the pti_st driver or
the generic i2o drivers. Be sure to set the BIOS on the
card for "Other OS" instead of "Linux", and check for
firmware updates.
