Details

Description:

3ware command line raid tool (tw_cli) for managing 9560SE raid cards segfault under Archlinux Kernel 3.0-ARCH (any 3.0.x version). Installation of tw_cli can be either from AUR or latest 3ware package.

Additional info:
* aur/tw_cli-9.5.3
* 3ware 10.2.1 codeset for Linux 64 bit
Forum Article:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=129069

Steps to reproduce:

Install aur/tw_cli on x86_64 system with Kernel 3.0-ARCH (3ware card does not have to be present)
run tw_cli as root Program immediately segfaults

Workaround:

Use ABS to rebuild kernel changing:

CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-ARCH"
to
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=".7"

in kernel config file.

Can the arch developers go back to the 3.x.y versioning/naming standard for the kernel to address this?
This task depends upon

maybe you could try enable testing and see if it works with 3.1

there you also would notice that arch is moving towards the full version scheme from linux-3.1

if i'm not mistaken currently the uname of linux in testing will be 3.1.0-3-ARCH (uname -r)

This should work again with the 3.1 kernel. Anyhow, a tool that segfaults because the kernel version string is unexpected is a really really broken tool.
