Still no LBA support

I posted before, but I have still not been able to get this to work. I let the project sit for a while now, but I purchased $400 worth of drives, only to have the Snap see only HALF of the available drive space. Can any give me any advice? I have read this entire tread several times, and other threads. I swear I MUST be missing something and I want to to rip my brain out and insert fully functional model into my skull.

I have a 4000, Hardware 2.01, Bios 2.0.282, Software updated to 4.0.855, then .860.

The old drives are fine, raid is fine. Done the debug/ide command and the new drives (Hitachi 250GB) all come out at 137GB. They work fine like this, and I can make a raid fine, but just not the LBA support.

Does anyone have tricks for those of us who are left out in the cold?

I also tried adding the drives in one at a time or all at once, and still not seeing the full capacity.

I also have done the reinit, several times, I've even tried a cold restart to try to jog its little brain... no avail.
