It will pause during initialization with older firmware and it tends to spew a few messages because Promise interpretation of the I2O spec is somewhat different to other devices, as well as including some clear mistakes > With new version of firmware (Bios version 1.20.0.27) driver doesn't > recognise hardware at all.

The new firmware isn't I2O any more. I've not found any public docs on the newer firmware interface and since it was way slower than the 3ware card I never looked. Alan
