Anybody have to deal with UEFI and Intel Rapid Storage Technology?
I've tried just about every option available in the bios but have been

Everything you list there (other than etc., etc., etc) is under either

Backup both of those as well, and you've got all your config data.

Blindly upgrading a server as-is, without knowing what's running on it, is a
recipe for disaster. Such a system suffers a serious entropy risk, and
ultimately becomes unmaintainable. Eventually it will suffer a disaster that
