The first thing to check is to see if your chip set on your controller 
is supported or not. I know some SCSI controllers like the LSI 320U's 
have very buggy drivers. But in the case of SATA or IDE I would make 
sure I was using the latest Dani drivers Or at leeast the last one from  
IBM. Also see that you have the latest OS2ldr and latest LVM components. 
You guys would sure make thig easier on yourselves if you supported 
EcomStation though.
