Thanks for the response, dmesg is included below.
Before getting this system up and running, I had two weeks of hell
getting DMA to properly work with this series of motherboards. They have
some controller issues or something, because more than one drive cannot
reside on the same cable or there are UDMA ICRC READ and WRITE errors. I
know it's not this particular board because this is the second brand new
board of the same model (Giga-Byte K8NS Pro) I've had with similar DMA
problems. I had a thread going here about that also. The end solution to
that was to have each drive on it's own dedicated channel, and I have a
Promise ATA card in here in addition to the motherboard's 4 channels (2
IDE + 2 RAID which function as IDE).
I don't think it is due to this particular problem with the controllers
though since I used that other 5.4 machine for a month and a half and it
did the exact same things.
