Hi,

I'm just now experimenting with adding SATA to my system. This is what I have found.

Open a Konsole in root. type modconf to open it.

Scroll down to the SCSI secition and open it. You should see the 3w-xxxx driver for the 3ware card at the begining of the list. Select that.

Install it.

After installing it, you will need to add the driver to the modules list. Put it at the begining.

type fdisk -l to confirm that the system sees the SATA partitions.

Does this help?
