Problem with new Tyan S2865?

Hi, I would like a little help determining if this motherboard is bad.
When I first set the server up it would not read from the floppy drive and then the floppy drive started working and the DVD drive stopped working. I then flashed the bios to the newest version and everything seemed to be working. I got the OS installed and after a restart, I now get a degraded array message from the bios. After I rebuild the array and restart the server the OS will boot again. I have gotten this message many times now. The server seems stable if I don't restart it but I can't get though a full setup of the OS before getting an error from the bios.

I called Tyan and they seem to think I have a bad device on the IDE bus, but I have tried more than 1 floppy and CD-rom drive with no luck. I have also tried with no floppy or CD Rom.
The components listed below are what I cannot swop out because I don't have replacements parts.
Is this a bad motherboard or an incompatibility with my other hardware?

TYAN S2865G2NR Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra
AMD Opteron 148 Venus 1GHz FSB 1MB L2
Crucial 512MB DDR SDRAM ECC Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200)
Antec TruePower 2.0 TP2-550 EPS12V ATX12V 550W
HITACHI Deskstar 7K250 160GB Serial ATA150 (RAID 1)
