Re: 3ware raid card installation takes away suse's ability to load x windows

If I take the card out and reboot, XWindows loads comfortably again.

Would anyone have any thoughts on this problem?

I would try the following:

First without the 3ware card:

cat /proc/pci > /tmp/no3ware.txt

Then with the 3ware card installed:

cat /proc/pci > /tmp/with3ware.txt

After that I would compare those files:

diff /tmp/no3ware.txt /tmp/with3ware.txt

The above assumes that /tmp keeps its contents after a reboot. If your tmp
is mounted as tmpfs or if SuSE as some startup scripts cleaning tmp you
might want to place the files somewhere else.

Most likely you also have a log file from X. It might be called something
like /var/log/Xorg.0.log, but I'm not familiar with SuSE so the log file
might be called something else or placed somewhere else on your system.
Save that file for comparision also:

cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log /tmp/Xno3ware.txt

and

cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log /tmp/Xwith3ware.txt

Those files might also be interesting to compare.
