I'm *really* growing to hate IBM servers ... the @#$@#$$ box has no non-64bit slots in her, so I can't even test a different card to see if it can register any cards on the PCI bus :( The only 64bit cards I have, other then that one adaptec, is a ServeRAID-4 card, but from what I can find on the web, its not support yet ... ? I'm downloading a linux boot disk right now, to see if it can recognize the card and will work from that ... Thanks ...
