I don't know if you guys remember, but several months back one of my X25-Es died after a FW update (I think we were talking about X25-E FW and I found out the first FW revisions were bugged). After the lock up, just having the drive connected was enough to lock a system up, and after contacting Intel support, I couldn't get my hands on newer OEM-only FW.

The good news is, I took it out of the gear closet yesterday, and I was able to SE it with RHEL. It works fine now. I'd tried this a couple times over the past few months, but for some reason it worked this time. If only I could do that to one of the dead MTRONS.
