it's allright :) we will buy a new card tomorrow. but i guess shipping will take a couple of days. we tried putting another raid card in the server, one we can't use though, and it was recognized in uefi, so we think a new card of the right type flashed in the right way should work. i feel a little powerless, since so much is down to 3mp0, and he has a lot at work right now, so time and energy is limited.
