BIOS version, installed 2.00 and the LSI behaved well with the Adaptec turned off. SMDC card, after trying multiple BIOS versions and images for the SMDC tyan UK got a similar system going in a lab, but without COMM2 re-direct over COMM2 port. We have shipped the machine back as we may have a case of :- a) Early board / s. b) Mismatch of MB BIOS & SMDC images. 5.2.1. We have so far had no issues, I have rebuild the kernel and the system is running flow-tools, rrd and apache. We have had no issues with the OS as of yet. Hope this helps, in general we have canned the ZC adaptec board and are going for the plain MB. yours a.r.b.
