2.4.5 has an out of date 3ware driver that is short

+   1.02.00.005 - Allocate bounce buffers and custom queue depth for raid5 for
+                 6000 and 5000 series controllers.
+                 Reduce polling mdelays causing problems on some systems.
+                 Fix use_sg = 1 calculation bug.
+                 Check for scsi_register returning NULL.
+                 Add aen count to /proc/scsi/3w-xxxx.
+                 Remove aen code unit masking in tw_aen_complete().
+   1.02.00.006 - Remove unit from printk in tw_scsi_eh_abort(), causing
+                 possible oops.
+                 Fix possible null pointer dereference in tw_scsi_queue()
+                 if done function pointer was invalid.
+   1.02.00.007 - Fix possible null pointer dereferences in tw_ioctl().
+                 Remove check for invalid done function pointer from
+                 tw_scsi_queue().

That might be a first thing to check
