    Is there any tricks to setting up a newer controller with the RAID still
    in tact or did you just start from scratch with each newer controller? One
    of the options I'm considering is getting a newer SCSI controller, but I
    don't want to have to do a dump | restore on it if I can get around it.
    (Plus the less down time, the better.)

    Compiling the non-SMP kernel now. I'll install it and boot it on the next
    crash or late tonight whichever happens first. I haven't had any SMP
    problems yet on these 1850Rs, but as I mentioned before I haven't run any
    as hard as this one yet. Thanks for the suggestion.
