Well, the first thing I noted was that the H8DA8 was not on the list of compatible motherboards on the 3ware website.
I challenged the vendor about that quite early on and was told that they've used this combo before with no trouble, though I've yet to press them on this point - but yes, that's a possibility I've not ruled out.
The card's running the latest firmware that I know about, certainly the fw in codeset 9.4.1.2 is the version intended to go with the driver supplied in CentOS 4.5.
It's definitely in the right slot, not using a riser and it's running at the right speed:
//serv1> /c0 show all [snip] /c0 Controller Bus Type = PCIX /c0 Controller Bus Width = 64 bits /c0 Controller Bus Speed = 133 Mhz
I'll see if there's a motherboard BIOS update, thanks for the reminder on that.
If there is anyone on the list using a 9550SX with an H8DA8 could they let me know whether or not they're seeing anything similar to what I've described?
Thanks S.
