The version of the 3w-9xxx driver included with Linux 2.6.22 does not support the PCI IDs of the 3ware 9690 SAS RAID cards.  In order to install the O/S image on a system with this RAID card and the standard IPP boot media, a newer version of this driver will need to be installed.  The procedure for this is:

 * boot the system off of the cd and configure networking
 * via sftp, download the updated [[attachment(3w-9xxx.ko)]] driver
 * run the commands:
{{{
rmmod 3w-9xxxx;insmod ./3w-9xxx.ko
}}}
 * proceed with the standard install
