The same machine as the one with the former gigabit problem.  But for those 
who aren't following that thread it's a Micron NetFRAME MV-5000 server with 
an Intel MB440LX dual P-II motherboard.

And the card's a NetRAID (1), which is indeed made by AMI/LSI Logic:

amr0: <LSILogic MegaRAID> port 0xf480-0xf4ff irq 10 at device 16.0 on pci0
amr0: <Series 428> Firmware A.04.03, BIOS A.04.03, 32MB RAM
