Server is an IBM xSeries 360 ... only slot'd card is the 39160, everything else is onboard ... the card is in the same 64bit slot that it was in when it worked originally, but I have tested other slots and the same results ... If I power up the system, and go into the CMOS, it can see that the SCSI controller is in slot 4 ... if I wait for the card to be detected and hit ctl-a, it lets me into the cards BIOS, from which I can detected all of the drives on the card ... So, by that, I *think* its safe to assume that the hardware is talking to each other properly ... right? The machine has Dual Xeon, 1.5Ghz CPUs, both of which are detected on boot up, both by the hardware, as well as by the OS ... I've tried disabling SMP .. just in case .. no effect. I've just finished building a straight GENERIC kernel, still can't detect anything ... Ran through the server diagnostics, and nothing came up ... Now am trying to boot off of a boot floppy, to see if *that* recognizes the drives ... 4.6-RELEASE floppy ... that should recognize the 39160 controller, correct? If so, then that doesn't either ... if not, that was a waste, but hey :) Okay, I think I've tried everything ... is there anything that it sounds like I might have missed trying ... ? Thanks ...
