   Well, there's nothing like following up on your own posting. My apologies
for not seeing this one sooner.  One of my 9207-8e cards didn't have an
up-to-date bios/firmware on it.

   After downloading the latest from the LSI website, the system once
again boots up correctly, and a bit more quickly.

   For the record:
