No MegaRAID adapter found on a Intel SRCS28X

I had a problem at a customer the other day were there was a power failure and when the server came up it would not boot. The server is an Intel S5000VSA with a Intel SRCS28X Raid controller. The server would sit on the Raid controller window initalizing firmware for 5mins and then pop up "No MegaRAID adapter installed.

We swapped the Raid controller but had the same result.... eventually we tried pulling hard drives out one at a time...turned out the 1st hard drive in the array had failed. Once we removed it the server rebooted and the Raid card started rebuilding onto the hot spare.
