3w-9xxx f14->f15 breakage

[Kevin H. Hobbs]

I just updated (with yum) our backup server from Fedora 14 to Fedora 15.

This server has a 3ware 9550SX-8LP RAID card.

When I boot with the new kernel-2.6.41.1-1.fc15.x86_64 the machine
complains that it can not find the root device by id and drops to a
dracut shell.

It then prints out warnings about the RAID card over and over in a slow
(20s or so) loop where the RAID card is reset once per loop.

I rebooted with the old kernel-2.6.35.14-106.fc14.x86_64 and Fedora
comes right up.

The RAID controller has the newest firmware FE9X 3.08.00.029

The RAID controller has no schedule limiting when it can do a verify and
it has been doing one about once a day. I've restarted the machine
several times to track down this problem and so it has always been
trying a verify when it booted the new kernel.

Does anybody have any ideas?
