As an aside, has anyone ever experimented with any type of conductive compound when putting these things together? IMO the cheesiest part of the setup is the crappy PC-style power connector, and I wondered about various solutions from compound to soldering on a PCB for a more reliable means of powering drives.
Best of luck to you.

Well, two of my drives did have an older bios, but the upgrade changed nothing.
I noticed that even unmounted, as long as I didn't raidstop the device, the system still crashes.
I tried setting down my bios as much as possible, and I am looking to do the same with the kernel, 2.4.21. I'll try the magic sysrq key, but I can't find my nulmodem cable to save my life, so I'll have to barrow one from work.
My server marches on, but without /dev/md2... I'll try just letting it sit, /dev/md2 intact, over night, but for now, I need it up, even if it is only for fits and spurts.
Thanks everyone, keep the ideas rolling in.
