Ahhh, yes, I thought you would have already tried that. But, alas, I should have checked too, especially given ...
One thing I forgot to check. Foolish of me to think the vendor would have flashed it with the latest. Again, I'll know more tomorrow.
One of the items in the listing is..
- Fixed some PCI-X device Option ROM does not scan or
- initialize correctly
That's a damn big one. I think you found your issue. Hmmm, the 3Ware posts, but it might not be initializing correctly. But still, you'd figure the 3w-xxxx driver would see it. Maybe it's not initializing some registers for PCI-X access correctly?
That's my one thought. I think I'll check various combinations of moving the card and removing some memory, etc. It is odd that the card would POST and (probably) show up in the boot option menu but not be initialized properly. I just wish I knew what the BIOS would call the 3Ware card in that menu.
