UW2 cards don't like to run at UW2?

Hrm, interesting. Your 290U2W uses the 896 chipset?

I figured maybe posting some actual information might help. Here's
what dmesg shows about both channels of the card:

sym0: <896> port 0x1000-0x10ff mem 0x84250000-0x84251fff,0x84255000-0x842553ff irq 0 at device 6.0 on pci0
sym0: Symbios NVRAM, ID 7, Fast-40, LVD, parity checking
sym0: open drain IRQ line driver, using on-chip SRAM
sym0: using LOAD/STORE-based firmware.
sym0: handling phase mismatch from SCRIPTS.
sym0: interrupting at CIA irq 0
sym1: <896> port 0x1100-0x11ff mem 0x84252000-0x84253fff,0x84255400-0x842557ff irq 7 at device 6.1 on pci0
sym1: Symbios NVRAM, ID 7, Fast-40, SE, parity checking
sym1: open drain IRQ line driver, using on-chip SRAM
sym1: using LOAD/STORE-based firmware.
sym1: handling phase mismatch from SCRIPTS.
sym1: interrupting at CIA irq 7

Then, how the drives are detected:

I really don't know what is going on. :( Would an 895-based U2W card have better luck?

Thanks,
