You seem to know what you're talking about, so I'll run another issue by 
you. :)

One of my friends called me the other day regarding problems with centos 
installation on 3ware 7810-8 controller. According to him the driver loads 
just fine, he can see AND partition the drive from the console, but the 
installation program doesn't seem to want to use the array.

He says it works like a charm on mdk 9.2 beta.

Any tips? I haven't looked into the problem yet, and I don't even know 
what this old controller is. :)

Regards,
Harald
