Only difference is the card is in a PCI-X slot and the server is running Linux 2.6.19.5. dmesg from that box: sata_promise 0000:02:06.0: version 1.04 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:06.0[A] -> GSI 32 (level, low) -> IRQ 18 ata5: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xF8816200 ctl 0xF8816238 bmdma 0x0 irq 18 ata6: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xF8816280 ctl 0xF88162B8 bmdma 0x0 irq 18 ata7: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xF8816300 ctl 0xF8816338 bmdma 0x0 irq 18 ata8: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xF8816380 ctl 0xF88163B8 bmdma 0x0 irq 18 scsi4 : sata_promise ata5: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) ata5.00: ATA-7, max UDMA/133, 976773168 sectors: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32) ata5.00: configured for UDMA/133 scsi5 : sata_promise ata6: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) ata6.00: ATA-7, max UDMA/133, 976773168 sectors: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32) ata6.00: configured for UDMA/133 scsi6 : sata_promise ata7: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) ata7.00: ATA-7, max UDMA/133, 976773168 sectors: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32) ata7.00: configured for UDMA/133 scsi7 : sata_promise ata8: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) ata8.00: ATA-7, max UDMA/133, 976773168 sectors: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32) ata8.00: configured for UDMA/133 scsi 4:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA ST3500630NS 3.AE PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 SCSI device sdc: 976773168 512-byte hdwr sectors (500108 MB) sdc: Write Protect is off sdc: Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 SCSI device sdc: drive cache: write back SCSI device sdc: 976773168 512-byte hdwr sectors (500108 MB) sdc: Write Protect is off sdc: Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 SCSI device sdc: drive cache: write back sdc: unknown partition table sd 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sdc sd 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0 scsi 5:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA ST3500630NS 3.AE PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 SCSI device sdd: 976773168 512-byte hdwr sectors (500108 MB) sdd: Write Protect is off sdd: Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 SCSI device sdd: drive cache: write back SCSI device sdd: 976773168 512-byte hdwr sectors (500108 MB) sdd: Write Protect is off sdd: Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 SCSI device sdd: drive cache: write back sdd: unknown partition table sd 5:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sdd sd 5:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg4 type 0 scsi 6:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA ST3500630NS 3.AE PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 SCSI device sde: 976773168 512-byte hdwr sectors (500108 MB) sde: Write Protect is off sde: Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 SCSI device sde: drive cache: write back SCSI device sde: 976773168 512-byte hdwr sectors (500108 MB) sde: Write Protect is off sde: Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 SCSI device sde: drive cache: write back sde: unknown partition table sd 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sde sd 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg5 type 0 scsi 7:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA ST3500630NS 3.AE PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 SCSI device sdf: 976773168 512-byte hdwr sectors (500108 MB) sdf: Write Protect is off sdf: Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 SCSI device sdf: drive cache: write back SCSI device sdf: 976773168 512-byte hdwr sectors (500108 MB) sdf: Write Protect is off sdf: Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 SCSI device sdf: drive cache: write back sdf: unknown partition table sd 7:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sdf sd 7:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg6 type 0 I'll try to test as Mikael suggested.
