With 4 channels this should be absolut ok. Perhaps you should try to set the zip drive also to master. And you can try rebuilding your kernel with hpt370/372 support.. Does it lock up if you dont connect anything to the hpt-controller? How big are these HD's ? The HPT370 is limited to 128 GB.. Did you try upgrading the HPT's BIOS?
