I guess it could be a PCI bus problem. Maybe the controller and the PCI
bus on the board don't like each other and thing get corrupt when
transactions occur at high speed. I've seen data corruption over PCI
bus on some pilot embedded system board. Not sure whether such things
are applicable to consumer products.

BIOS for the A7N8X is the latest 1008 version which overcomes a boot
limitation - the board would not boot with more than 1 SATA controller
installed.
This RAID corruption bug was supposedly fixed in 1005.
Since contacting Asus technical support is likely to be as productive as
getting blood from a stone, I'm going to go ahead and scrounge another
motherboard - since this is socket A stuff it should be dirt cheap by now.
Thanks for all the suggestions,
Jonathan
