classiccmp server upgrade

It did not go well. One of the screws in the boot drive removable tray stripped out. That taught me to always check the torque setting on the screwdriver. I had to go back home to get a GraBit and dig it out. When I got back to the datacenter... I found that the new disk controller for some reason absolutely refuses to work at all in the classiccmp motherboard. No clue why - tested it in other machines and it works fine. Just not in the classiccmp server. This puts me in the fun position of having a perfectly functioning system sans drives, and weeks of work (data) on a set of drives - neither of which can be connected together. The only thing I can think of is a new M/B but I really don't want to do that. I'll call escalade/3ware on monday. Wasted day. Everything was finally put back the way it was. I'll keep ya'll posted.
