The error referenced above indicates that the system ROM space is full and it has no more room for additional adapters which use ROM space. If you have a RAID and a SCSI adapter, and both adapters are set up to boot, then first try disabling the BIOS on the SCSI adapter to free up some ROM space.
Note: There are video and other types of adapters which could also use ROM space. It may be possible to disable the BIOS on these cards as well.
If your system has an onboard Adaptec controller or has an Adaptec PCI card (for example,2940), the BIOS can be disabled to free up ROM space for your additional controllers.
Note: You will not be able to boot from the disabled controller.
