This seems MCP55 related. I have moved my two PATA SATA converted drives onto a Sil 3132 2-port PCI-E controller. I have no drives on the MCP55 SATA ports. I have cabled my 3rd drive directly into the MCP55 IDE port. No problems whatsoever with 7.0 now. My zfs raidz has come back to life :) The system reboots properly now and the BIOS is happy restarting the PC. 7.0 is definately doing something screwy with the MCP55 SATA controllers, but only when a drive is connected to them. Otherwise it's fine.
