Folks-
I'm sure everyone is sitting on the edge of their seats awaiting the
latest installment of this saga :) I have good news to report, the
machine is up and running quite happily now and seeing the 3Ware card.
I think there were two big wins:
1) I updated the BIOS from 1.00.2895 to 1.01.2895, which is available
from the Tyan site (http://www.tyan.com/support/html/b_s2895.html) This
by itself made zero difference in the behavior of the system.
2) I added pci=bios to the kernel line in grub.conf and now I can see
all of the PCI buses and the 3Ware card (one note the 3Ware card was not
in the 133MHz PCI-X bus on bridge A -- it does work in that slot just
fine -- I moved it back to the original location after a quick test).
Without this kernel flag, I do not see the entire pci bus, and as you
can see with this enabled all sorts of goodies appear.

Also, as a further test, I reset the BIOS to their default settings and
the machine works just fine. It looks a combination of updated BIOS and
of course the kernel flags results in a functional machine.
Thanks
