Promise FastTrack drivers for FC2

[Omar Castañeda Acosta]

As I said on my previous e-mail, there _is_ a driver for 3ware 9000 series under ANY version of 2.6.8-1.521 (at least the ones you can fetch using yum or up2date).

A quick look into my system:

[root at heracles root]# find /lib | grep 3w-9
/lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521smp/kernel/drivers/scsi/3w-9xxx.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/kernel/drivers/scsi/3w-9xxx.ko

[root at heracles root]# ls -lR /lib | grep 3w-9
-rwxr--r--  1 root root  35360 Aug 16 07:55 3w-9xxx.ko
-rwxr--r--  1 root root  37496 Aug 16 07:55 3w-9xxx.ko

[root at heracles root]# lsmod

Not everyone is running SMP.  I should have qualified my statement that
there is an SMP driver but not uniprocessor.  My bad.
