Hello Kevin,

I was dropped to a BusyBox shell after the system again failed to find
the root filesystem.  (I don't understand why the module is being
referred to as "3w_9xxx" when it's "3w-9xxx" everywhere else...)

Am I doing something wrong here?  Thanks.

Take the debian xen kernel and the binary xen-3.1.0-tgz.

Then follow this (remove -amd64 if you need to):

apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.18-4-amd64 build-essential
cd /usr/src
ln -s linux-headers-2.6.18-4-amd64 linux
wget http://www.3ware.com/KB/attachments/90-3w-9xxx_for2.6.18kernel_v2.26.06.002-9.4.1.1-GUIDdcf1c4383d2f42439228afa9a5ff1a83.tgz
tar xzf 90*
cd driver
make
cp -f /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-amd64/kernel/drivers/scsi/3w-9xxx.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-amd64/kernel/drivers/scsi/3w-9xxx.ko-orig cp -f /usr/src/3ware/driver/3w-9xxx.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-amd64/kernel/drivers/scsi/3w-9xxx.ko
depmod -a
echo 3w-9xxx >> /etc/modules
modprobe 3w-9xxx
update-initramfs -u -k all
reboot

Regards,
Bjoern
