February 22, 201016 yr I've got an older system that has a 3Ware 9500S card in it. I was trying to boot it up and seeing if it would natively recognize the card. According to the 3Ware page, it says it has native support in Linux 2.6 which I think unRAID 4.5 is based on. http://www.3ware.com/support/OS-Support.asp I'm not sure if this should or shouldn't work. Any guidance is appreciated.
February 22, 201016 yr the unRAID OS has a customized kernel by limetech. The drivers for this controller are not installed by default. The .config and md driver source are available on the download distribution. So it is possible to recompile the kernel with the drivers. I'm unsure if emhttp, the unRAID array control program, knows how to interrface with the drivers 100%. That's a question for limetech.

In order to recompile the kernel with the drivers...wouldn't I need a full Linux system of sort which is sort of a Catch-22 as well.
February 22, 201016 yr wouldn't I need a full Linux system of sort which is sort of a Catch-22 as well. For a short period of time, yes. Unless limetech can compile and provide the driver for you. If possible you can have an small drive with slackware installed, do the compile and rebuild of bzimage/bzroot. Then change the boot device to USB drive. Another choice would be a slackware vmware environment on a windows machine. It's also possible to install unRAID onto a full slackware install. There are articles in the wiki about recompiling the kernel.
