OK, I have flashed the BIOS of the card to the latest version from AMI, and
booted it up with RedHAT (latest kernel compiled) with various patches, and
the driver compiled directly into the kernel, not as a module. Note, these
are the drivers that come with RedHAT. I havent tried the RPMs directly
from AMI/Dell

Its slow, but the server does not crash..... However, if Queing enabled, it
does crash. However, this could be due to the old Segates ( ST31055W )
that I am using to test with. I did try the same on FreeBSD, but it did
not have any positive effect. So it seems the card does work...
