I don't think the i386-version does have the support. I do think that David is not willing to enhance Tao Linux over basic redhat. I then tho cannot speak for David, but the enhancements i've mentioned, are exclusive for x86-64, ia64, s390 and s390x (AFAIK) unless mentioned other way. I really don't know about the below mentined as i have not tested that myself. I run my own fork at home which does have all the mods and is my prototype release for future enhancements (which might or might not get merged to Tao Linux later on). My private fork is par for all arches (i386, x86-64, ia64, s390 and s390x), but i really cannot make any mods to the official Tao Linux/i386. The symptoms that 'loader tries to load 3w-xxxx for 3ware 9500-seris controller' is expected result. The hwdata does have it's PCIid mapped for 3w-xxxx (the 8x00-series and older controllers). > > Thanks! > > On Thu, 21 Oct 2004, David L.
