My apologies, I now understand its a hardware issue. Before you toss
the 3ware completely try the following (although I am sure you have)
1. Force PCI-x 64bit in the bios on the slot
2. Disable APIC or force old APIC mode
3. Disable onboard raid and/or SATA controller if its avail.
My experience with some boards you really have to tweak around to get
pci-x going.
Sorry if I've wasted your time !
