There is a subtle difference in the card:

mpt1_at_pci2:3:1:  class=0x010000 card=0x10401028 chip=0x00301000 rev=0x07 hdr=0x00    
    vendor   = 'LSI Logic (Was: Symbios Logic, NCR)'
    device   = 'LSI53C1020/1030 PCI-X to Ultra320 SCSI Controller'
    class    = mass storage
    subclass = SCSI

I have a PE server as well that has another slightly different card:

mpt0_at_pci1:4:0:  class=0x010000 card=0x01351028 chip=0x00301000 rev=0x07 hdr=0x00    
    vendor   = 'LSI Logic (Was: Symbios Logic, NCR)'
    device   = 'LSI53C1020/1030 PCI-X to Ultra320 SCSI Controller'
    class    = mass storage
    subclass = SCSI

This works fine as well.

Thanks.
