So the adventure continues on a different box (rx4640).
(I'll go back to the rx2600 and reflash/reboot the box).

With tvflash, I was able to upload the hca-cougar image I mentioned
before successfully...at least that's what tvflash asserted.

If you want me to try a different firmware, we should do that off-list.

Running 2.6.10-rc2 kernel ended up with the following output:
iowa:~# modprobe ib_mthca

tvflash isn't able to ID the new downloaded firmware.
Seems like a bug but I don't have specs to see what it is.

Oh...I think I see the problem.
System Firmware is having problems with this card.
I need to update firmware on this box anyway and will report back.

thanks,
