[TriLUG] LVD and SE SCSI question (updated)

Okay, here's an update.  I updated the scsi card's bios and removed
the LVD drive.  I hooked the three single ended drives 
(an IBM DNES-309170 9GB, a Seagate ST19101W 9GB, and a Seagate
ST19171WC 9GB with an SCA to 68pin converter) to the second
scsi connector (the one just marked Ultra SE as opposed to
Ultra 2 SE/LVD).  I turned the machine on and it found the
3 drives.  Unfortunately, I had to reboot because I left a CD
in the drive and it booted from that.  Upon reboot, it's 
*still* coming up and saying "Interrupt does not work" :-(
I'm going to try it again in the morning and see what it does,
but I'm not very encouraged. :-(

Hope isn't all lost, though.  The machine also has a mylex
raid card in it.  It's a Mylex DAC1164P.  If anyone has any
experience with this card (and doing raid configuration
on it), please e-mail me.  Right now, when I try to hit 
"Alt-R" to get to raid configuration (like it says to do),
it says the raid configuration will happen after initialization.
Unfortunately, because of my other problems with the other
scsi card, it never gets through initialization. :-(  And
taking the other scsi card out didn't seem to help either.
So, if anyone has any ideas about that, I'd love to hear them.

Thanks,
Tanner
