In my previous reply, I assumed wrongly you were trying 2.1.108.

Since there is no significant ncr driver difference involving the
detection code between 2.1.79 and 2.1.107, I would think that the 
problem is related to a major difference in the PCI hardware between 
the Proliant 5000 and 7000 (bridging, ...).
BTW, 2.1.108 has some changes in the PCI code and a ncr53c8xx driver 
major release. You should give this kernel a try, IMO.

Regards,
   Gerard.
