SCO defbootstr question for filePro server

This is more of a SCO Openserver question, but the continued existence
of a filePro application depends on this server, and this forum has a
lot of knowledge in SCO.
I have a customer running SCO Openserver 5.0.7 who has a fried
motherboard, an Intel Server Board G7ESZ with two on-board SCSI
channels, one a ultra160 and the other regular SCSI. There is a cage
with two IBM drives in RAID. I replaced the mother board and it boots,
but crashes when it tries to load SCO. It gets to the host adapter part
of the boot and reports an error:
"no root disk controller was found. A boottime loadable driver may be
required. dpti: HA0 Channel 0: ID 1 2 3 4 .. Panic Srmountfun error
19 mounting rootdir 1/42"
I think the new motherboard is not compatible somehow with the SCSI
drivers built into the boot string. Channel A (ultra160) does not even
find the operating system. Channel B (regular SCSI) attempts to load
but reports the error above. The SCSI channels use different interrupts
than the old one did, but there is no way to change this.
Any ideas such as defboostr's to try?
Thanks in advance,
Larry Hoover
