When I load the 3w-xxxx.ko module I get the following output:

This is the same output I got with earlier kernels, except this time the disks are not assigned to SCSI devices. Is this a known issue? I poked around on Bugzilla and the only 3ware problems I see are in the 2.4 kernel, and I have no problems with the 2.4 kernel on a 32bit machine.
