Who knows. I've just tried to swap the 2 promise cards for 2 highpoint cards - with fairly disastrous results )-: It booted, recognised the 4 disks (hde,g,i,k) but then started to whinge about DMA errors and general badness, so put the promise cards back in and it's now hapilly rebuilding the raid arrays.
Maybe it's having 2 promise (or highpoint) cards? I had one highpoint card in another PC for a few days and it was performing well...
It's very annoying, whatever it is, and unfortunately I don't have the resources or time to try to really get to the bottom of this )-:

3Ware. They work. Reliable Decent Open Source drivers. Decent support Fast. Do either hardware RAID ( real hardware RAID, not Promise so-called version) Make lovely 2, 4 8, or 12 port devices for MD RAID. 12 channels, 12 disks, ummm, tasty.
