Interestingly, it seems that the first board's BIOS detects the second board and does autodetection for all drives on both boards, and then the second board's BIOS doesn't get run at all. Whatever, it works... I did have to add the /dev/hdi and /dev/hdk device nodes to my (mostly) Mandrake 8.0 system though. There are four Maxtor drives on the two Promise adaptors, working nicely as a raid 5 array, formatted as a single huge reiserfs. Only one weird thing: When I mount the reiserfs partition on the raid, I get the following messages: raid5: switching cache buffer size, 4096 --> 1024 raid5: switching cache buffer size, 1024 --> 4096 hmmm.
