    If the system sits on the drives attached to the 3ware controller, your
    system will fail to boot.

    Previous to exchanging the controller card change the SCSI hostadapter
    entry in /etc/modprobe.conf to reflect the new/other kernel module. Then
    run mkinitrd to build a new initial ramdisk image with the new/other
    kernel module inside. Having done that, you then can shutdown, exchange
    the controller and boot again.
