The other thing I thought of after I wrote my previous message is that 
the problem may have existed only with the previous generation of LSI 
chips. I have never managed to remember which is what when it comes to 
the model numbers of LSILogic's own cards, so I don't know whether yours 
is one of the older ones.

Mine uses the SYM_HI.ADD driver. Many newer ones use the LSIMPT.ADD driver.

It may also have been a problem of an interaction between some feature 
of the Asus mobo and the Award BIOS, although I do seem to recall that 
somebody reported the same problem with a different make of mobo.
