Scott - Thank You!!!!

I rolled back to PERC 3/Si  driver 2.7-1 build 3571 and everything is working as expected.

I see the drive at bios now under the 7899 channel b.

The sa driver is loaded at boot.

mt status is reporting correctly.

I want to beat on this a little more and verify to myself that this machine oi production worthy but I believe that it is fixed.   

Best regards,
P.
