Re,
Thanks for all responses (to the list and directly to me). A short

After
a) again disabling RSM (the removable media service) completely and
b) bumping the 2k up to SP3
the problem disappeared. It appears SP3 fixes several issues related to
hotplug/PCI hotplug especially in conjunction with Compaq servers, and so
it did for us. At least for the first test run.

A known bug in nsrd.exe that can be patched away.
For the unload-reload "issue" it is designed that way - maybe future
versions handle this differently. Is there any such mechanism as a feature
request with Legato? I assume they've heard this already thousands of
times, but maybe...
