Since the IBM ServeRAID was being discussed: do you (or does anyone
else) happen to know how to get a non-IBM RAID controller to work in
an IBM computer?  We've tried everything we could think of to get the
IBM X330 and X340 to actually run the boot-time BIOS code in other
controllers, but we've yet to find a non-IBM PCI card of any type that
the damn things are willing to recognize.  Using Intel network cards,
I even have to disable the check for an on-card BIOS, because the IBM
boxes decide that there's a checksum failure in what they believe to
be a ROM of size 0 bytes.
