Re: 3ware, tw_cli, disassemble/rebuild array

["Casey Boone" <ophidian_snake@hotmail.com>]

oddly i have been having a linux and 3ware related problem lately as well, 
albeit not the same one you are. :)

been having one heck of a time compiling a kernel, ok well not the kernel 
compile itself, that seems to work ok, its the make install part

get an error making the initrd about missing 3w_xxxx modules (the server in 
question has a 3ware in it that holds the data partition)
