Bugger. That doesn't work, either. I guess I should have paid more attention to the clue silk-screened on the motherboard near the first slot in the secondary PCI bus that says "RAID Upgradeable PCI slot", and another clue silk-screened elsewhere close by that said something like "Insert NICs into primary PCI bus only". Sigh.... I guess we get to buy a couple of 3950U2Ws, and maybe hold on to these 2940U2Ws and see if they can ever be useful in another project sometime. It looks like the PCI bridge chip is a real issue with this particular hardware configuration, and so far as I can tell, using SMP doesn't seem to make a difference. After confirming that everything is working okay again, we get to go back to reconfiguring the RAID array, doing horizontal striping across the logical units, seeing what happens when I add softupdates, etc.... I'll post results here when I've got 'em.
