I've just put a second SiI 3114 SATARaid card in my home server so that I could add
another pair of SATA drives and increase my storage space. Annoyingly, it
doesn't seem to work:

I've tried a combination of different kernel options (irqpoll, noapic, noacpi,
pci=noapic) all to no avail. Does anyone have any bright ideas about how I
can go about making this work?
Swapping PCI cards around isn't an option as there are only two slots in this motherboard (an ASRock K7S41GX). The BIOS doesn't look to have too much in the way of configuration options regarding IRQ usage.
Plan B is to ditch this server completely and buy a new QNAP for these drives to go in, but I was hoping to avoid doing this right now.
