 This sounds exactly like the stuff I fought for half a year.
 
 My motherboard was an Arima/Rioworks HDAMA and something on that board
 just didn't like Promise chips.  This was a bit of a problem as the
 onboard SATA channels are Promise.
 
 I've heard that recent bios updates should have fixed it, but I have
 not been able to check it.
 
 If you have a HDAMA motherboard and a bios upgrade does not fix it,
 return the board and tell them that you have the "promise data corruption
 problem" and want a board that works.
