Re: [Xen-users] Problems w/ 3Ware 9650 and 64-bit Xen

[MS <ms@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There is an bug in the 3Ware driver for the Kernel 2.6.18.
You can patch it out, but it brings some other problems.
Xen + 3Ware 96xx and newer are a problem with xen,
we have a few xen machines with this problem, so we
use the 2.6.20 Ubutu kernel. A better choice for xen are
the Adaptec controllers 3xxx and 5xxx.
