If I use the internal SCSI controller it will work. That is a Smart 
Array 5i. I think the problem is setting the IRQ of the PCI controller 
Smart Array 5300.

It was originally wired as using the PCI controller in simplex. I would 
have thought that using the integrated/internal controller in duplex 
would give the best performance.
