Select "RAID Controllers" from the Product Family drop down. Select "3ware 9650SE-8ML" from the Product drop down. Scroll down to the Software section. Generic Linux set is the fourth entry down. I'm guessing 3ware added the non-Java install version to 9.5.3 just after the 10.1 release, which is why it appears as a "more recent". I found it this way:

I can't find it on LSI's site at all (LSI appears to have bought 3Ware). All I see is 9.5.3. I'm hoping 10.1 will allos Linux to see my controller, because 9.5.3 isn't seeing it right now.

On my project I'm using the Asus P5Q3 Deluxe and for reasons unknown I've seen it not being able to post (twice!!). The BIOS on the main chip was shot. However I was able to recover the mainboard by swapping the bios chip (off), booting, swapping while hot and flashing on the fly. (steady hands are recommended) This may have been a possibilty for your board aswell, as there is also a backup bios chip on the P5Q-E It seems as if I were doing much of the same.

The only thing you have to do is replacing the "steel" on the PCB with one with screws on the other side. therefore you can use some old "steel" from unused old NICs. nothing to place backwards.

We purchased 2 cards and designed our entire platform arround their offering. Support at Areca keep telling us "next month." I've sworn off Areca and our company will NEVER purchase another of their devices. We just built a opensolaris JBOD believing in the Area docs for the ARC-1300.

One more InstallShield oddity: on my system, the InstallShield Wizard window appeared but it was completely blank and would not respond to keystrokes. I'm running NVidia v195 graphics drivers, and I had to use the Appearance Preferences app to turn off extra visual effects (select None radio button) in order to see the IS Wizard window content and proceed with the install.
