U320 cards won't startup

[logear1]

have this problem with LSI U320 and Adaptec U320 cards on Tyan S2603 (dual Xeon -603 motherboard). Neither brand Ultra320-R cards will fire up on this motherboard. Both cards are PCI-X 133 and backward compatible. Neither will fire up in the 64 or 32 bit slot. I get an error message that states"Expansion Rom not initialized-PCI Mass Storage Controller Configuration Error at slot 04" or slot 3 depending where I try it. The LSI works fine in a Dell Precision 530 and I'm assuming the Adaptec will too. BTW I'm running an Adaptec 29160 U160 on this machine without a problem, but for some reason the U320s won't even startup. Any help appreciated, thanks in advance.

If you haven't already , I'd make sure the board has the lastest bios.

have latest BIOS installed, Option ROM Scan is enabled. For some reason these U320 cards just won't run on this board.

Does the board have onboard SCSI? If so, turn it off and try again.
If not,
