I have been having some problems with my arrays that I think i have

didn't work.
Did they have the same chipset? I had problems with PCI controllers on
one of my systems, which turned out to be some sort of conflict between
the onboard chipset and the chipset on the controllers. I found a PCI
card with a different chipset and have had no issues since.
They are/were cheapy little via ones
That's your problem right there. Well, in my experience and therefore
opinion, VIA stuff is all too often junk, or at least iffy enough never
to be trusted with anything professional or important.

I have a pci express controller but my kernel doesnt (yet!) support pci express.
*How old* is your kernel?
