In fact, I have a 29160LP that would not show up as a bootable option in a half dozen servers I tried. This includes anywhere from custom built boxes to nice upper end Dell units. YMMV... Does it have an option to enable/disable bios in the card setup like other ataptec cards? If so it has to be enabled to boot. -- Les Mikesell
