The storage device has a gui telling me current speed. CurSynClk=2 GHz for the redhat kernel, 1 GHz for the 2.6.5 and 2.6.6-rc3 kernels.

Initially I was running kernel 2.6.5 had the connection forced at 2Gbit from the storage device side, then I struggled for a while trying to understand why I didn't get link. The qla2300 module said "Cable unplugged".
Then I set the storage device to autodetect speed, rebooted, and then it came up at 1 Gbit.
Then (with the setting still at autodetect) I rebooted to the RedHat kernel, and it got autodetected to 2 Gbit according to the storage device.

The data-sheet says "Two 2Gbps Fibre Host Channels; Transfer rate up to 200MB/sec for each":

During boot it says it has no 'ROM BIOS'. Is this something I can install?
BTW: here's the log I get with 2.6.6-rc3 when loading the qla2300 with speed=2GHz set on the infortrend:
