I have that card with 6 60 gig drives and set the box up (freebsd 4.7?)
and it would run for a day or so and just crash.  I also recall having
similar panics when moving large amounts of data.  I've given up on
using the box for any real work so it's just sitting doing nothing
waiting... hoping for a solution... a glimmer of hope.  ;-)

If you get it working please post.
