I am trying to reinstall Virtuozzo 3 with a new 3ware 9550SX RAID controller (replacing a defective controller.) During the installation of VE 3 it warns that the 9550SX is unsupported and may cause the system not to boot, etc. Yep. The system won't boot How is one supposed to 1) install the latest kernel that DOES support the 9550SX if one cannot run vzup2date?

I booted into another kernel and was able to run vzup2date and force the kernel update. The system now boots into the new kernel. But vzlist -a shows no VE's. service vz status shows that its running. There is no service VE either. I'll try manually adding one but I won't trust a system that requires so much just to get the controller VZ running. Not a production server. I ran

I don't have an 8006 card to put in just for installation and I've never tried swapping an 8006 to a 9550SX with screwing the RAID up. I don't know that it will, but I don't know that it won't.

At this point I don't know what more to try and I cannot kind a KB article with help.

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
