The Fusion chip is soldered onto the motherboard. I went into the BIOS and discovered a little selection called (paraphrased) 'Execute LSI firmware' which was disabled. When I enabled it, all the boottime Fusion errors and warning went away. This is a dual Opteron system branded 'Celsius' and made by Fujitsu/Siemens. It would be great if the driver could detect this and print a 'is the LSI Fusion firmware enabled?' message in the log. Regards, and thank you for looking into this, Joe
