It went away and things work well now. I did two things at the same time and I'm not sure which one fixed things. My system has two PCI 32/33 slots and three PCI-X 64/66 slots. Non-working configuration: PCI slot 1: Promise TX2 PCI slot 2: Adaptec 2930 (5V card) PCI-X slot 1: Promise TX2 PCI-X slot 2: Marvell 6081 PCI-X slot 3: empty Working configuration: PCI slot 1: Promise TX2 PCI slot 2: Promise TX2 PCI-X slot 1: empty PCI-X slot 2: empty PCI-X slot 3: Marvell 6081 Could be getting rid of the 5V Adaptec card, could be taking all the non-PCI-X cards out of the PCI-X slots. Could be something else. I'm not sure. Good luck! -- Sebastian Kuzminsky
