Hello all, I noticed that when the bios of the LSI Logic 53c1030 PCI-X Fusion-MPT Dual Ultra320 SCSI host is disabled the driver (linux-2.6.14.3) fails to initialize the controller: Dec 14 12:26:02 quadopt2 kernel: Fusion MPT SPI Host driver 3.03.03 Dec 14 12:26:02 quadopt2 kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:04.0[A] -> GSI 24 (level, low) -> IRQ 18 Dec 14 12:26:02 quadopt2 kernel: mptbase: Initiating ioc0 bringup Dec 14 12:26:02 quadopt2 kernel: mptbase: ioc0: ERROR - Doorbell ACK timeout (count=4999), IntStatus=80000000!

But it's not a real problem here. Thanks for all the work.
