dmesg reports a 2308 if that makes any difference.

This is using these 45-bay Supermicro chassis, where front and back are 
separate backplanes, so the front drives are on one bus and the back 
drives on another. That's a detail which I forgot in my first post - so 
although it's one HBA, the drives are split across both ports.
