You are a genius!  That's the hint I needed.

I added "modprobe mptctl" at bootup according to these instructions:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/sysadmin-guide/s1-kernel-modules-persistant.html

rebooted the server and SSM now works!!!

The 1.5 year old SC440 server might be of some use after all!

Thanks Byran.
