Wow! That is pretty serious. Did the same thing happen to the new board? I am very curious as to what experiences you are having with your set up. We had some hints that our board might be failing prior to installing the 320-4x. So I can't say that it was the card. I would be sad if the new board (arriving tomorrow) gets fried when I plug the LSI controller back into it, although I would be very suprised. Have you talked with LSI tech support about the problem? They are easier to get a hold of then the LSI sales people. Please post back to the list or email me off list.

I final got a RAID card I had been waiting for. I installed the card and attempted to boot the system. The system would not post. I removed the new controller and everything else. Eventually got down to one CPU and one DIMM. The board died. We are in the process of RMAing it. Hopefully this will solve all of the problems we were seeing. Thanks so much for everyone's help. Very strange.. I had exactly the same problem with a Tyan K8S, 6GB RAM and an LSI 320 Raid controller.. My board died also, there were some components burned between the PCI slots, VGA chip and BIOS. We also had to RMA the board, but it looked like the Opterons died too and/or the memory was broken..
If any info is needed on the LSI 320-4x on an TYAN S2880 with 2 procs and 6GB DDR, I should be able to tell soon. Well, I would be very much interested if it is going to work for you, because i'm already thinking of removing 2GB and put the server into production (after a few more stability tests ofcourse ;))
4GB, which is strange, because on this list I see multiple people having
I also mailed with someone from AMD, he said he never heard of problems with that problem. At the moment I can't do very much with my system, either the Opterons died or the memory did, so we are replacing the Opterons first and hopefully I can debug it further, i want this matter solved!
