In the case of MPT, no, there's nothing to turn on or off in the BIOS. 
As I said in my previous email, it's a driver problem that I'm trying to
understand and solve.  However, it might actually be a symptom of a 
hardware problem on your end that wasn't being detected with 6.2 but is
with 6.3 and 7.0.  Please check your hardware and try swapping cables
and such, and I'll keep you updated on what I find on my end.
