The controller was previously shared with a USB controller.  That's
disabled, and now the Highpoint has IRQ 10 all to itself.  The problem
still exists.  The problem only exists when the drives are addressed as
a RAID1 array.  If they are used any other way, the problem does not
exist.  This sounds to me like a problem with the RAID1 implementation.

Later tonight I'll try putting the RocketRAID 100 back in and
downgrading to FreeBSD 4.5 (4.5 doesn't support the new HPT chip on the
motherboard).  That will put me back before all the big ata changes that
occured around 4.6.
