Well the message started by saying that I got caught by a 3ware card that did
not want to play nice with me.....
So I guess nobody deared suggesting another 3ware card.

My apologies, I now understand its a hardware issue. Before you toss
the 3ware completely try the following (although I am sure you have)
1. Force PCI-x 64bit in the bios on the slot
2. Disable APIC or force old APIC mode
3. Disable onboard raid and/or SATA controller if its avail.
My experience with some boards you really have to tweak around to get
pci-x going.
Thanx for the usefull suggestions.
However: I've already returned the board to the supplier after I fiddled for
about a day with the bios. Which was very cumbersome, since every change
required:
power off
remove card
power on
change bios
power off
insert card
power on
test.....
En start all over.
