    Can you check the firmware on the PERC 2/SC? (You claim you tried a
    different system with a dual-channel, but that would be the PERC 2/DC).
    There's a bug in the megaraid driver for some versions of the PERC 2/SC
    firmware which can cause an oops when the megaraid driver loads. It's fixed
    by upgrading to v3.13 firmware, available by link on
    http://domsch.com/linux. That *shouldn't* be the problem, as I don't see
    the megaraid sign-on message, but it could be.

    Also, the onboard SCSI adapter isn't an Adaptec, it's a Symbios 810.

    Thanks,
    Matt
