Hello [EMAIL PROTECTED], It is sooo annoying when you move some h/w that was working ok and then doesn't when transplanted to a new system. Have you confirmed that the adaptec is on the h/w compatibility list? Can you try another scsi hd with the controller, to confirm the controller is ok? If possible, can you re-fit it all back into the server and confirm that it all still works? - the most likely time for h/w to pack up is when you power it down.
