Hi,
I have been trying to get a PERC 2 (aka MegaRAID 466) working with
Current. The box worked fine with the 428, but seems to barf with only the
controller swapped.

This is using the BIOS from Dell. Should I be trying the latest and
greatest directly from AMI ? There is a warning from them however saying
not to use the AMI version with OEM cards. Should I try it anyways ?
