(prompt)...
so i can't get in the setup, can't setup my raid, array, etc.

i can see the card using lspci in linux when i boot on a drive connected to the onboard controller.

the compaq bios leaves TONS to be desired. i couldn't not install the FIC (award) bios (something about not recognizing the flashROM).

anyone have any ideas?

i've updated to the newest compaq bios. i've tried moving the card around to different slots.

one thing of note is that the bios forces the card's IRQ to overlap with that of the on board audio. i've disabled the onboard audio to no avail.
