Not fully, actually both are bootable, but the second one gets read/write errors after booting, and when accessed after booting from another boot device (NFS)
for the other points, actually both cards are used in the same adapter hardware. I can switch both cards in ONE system, and the error only appears with the newer card.
I found some other subtlety, in the dmesg of the nonworking card there is a message:
hdb: C/H/S=0/0/0 from BIOS ignored
which doesnt appear with the working card, so the card is already treated differently by the bios, or the different information from the bios somehow interfers with hardware probing? (just speculating on this point) I will do some more tests and tell you what i find out.
