Anton,

Apologies if this has been answered - I get the digest.

This information is from the January 2005 User's Guide  
(MegaRAID_software_guide_ver01_PDF_Draft_20050111.pdf), available on  
LSI's website. I haven't tried this, and have a different MegaRaid  
controller in any case, so you may want to wait to speak with LSI's  
tech support if you can, especially if you don't have backup of your  
data. Not sure if the firmware version on your card will have an  
impact on what features are available.

2.12.1 Resolving a Configuration Mismatch
If the replacement controller has a previous configuration, the message
Unresolved configuration mismatch between disk(s) and NVRAM
on the adapter displays during the power-on self test (POST) stating
that there is a configuration mismatch. A configuration mismatch occurs
when the configuration data in the NVRAM and that on the hard disk
drives are different. You need to update the configuration data in  
the NVRAM
with the data from the hard disk drive. Perform the following steps  
to resolve
the mismatch.
Step1. Press <Ctrl> <M> when prompted during bootup to access the
BIOS Configuration Utility.
Step2. Select Configure—>View/Add Configuration.
This gives you the option to view both the configuration on the
NVRAM and the hard drive disk.
Step3. Select the configuration on disk.
Step4. Press <Esc> and select YES to update the NVRAM.
Step5. Press <Esc> to exit, then reboot.
