There is nothing in the two PCI-X slots at all. :( I am going to ask Supermicro what the story is. Even the driver from Marvell that I have code for, of which I have found several versions, refuses to work correctly either on the Xeon system below or some new Opteron systems. In any case I am happy to work with whoever is making the linux kernel driver for marvell to try to get to the bottom of the issue. I could even provide a login on a dedicated system if that would help.
