Hi Sascha!

I downloaded the patch and created a new install cd with it (from snapshot, in src/nrelease with make release), and it worked! :-)
Yesterday, I downgraded the current development version to the last stable 2.6.3 with the patched twa driver. That worked out, too.

There is one problem left, that I will try to take care of today: since the installation the RAID 1 was downgraded and the rebuilding process seems to fail. Dmesg lists:

twa0: INFO: (0x04: 0x000B): Rebuild started: unit=0
twa0: WARNING: (0x04: 0x0019): Drive removed: port=0

At the moment, after the system downgrade, it is in rebuilding state, 

twa0: INFO: (0x04: 0x000B): Rebuild started: unit=0

and it does not stop for the last hour. If it stops rebuilding I'll contact you again.

Thank you very much for your help!
Damian
