<div>I doubt it. I always hate pointing out the obvious, but have you checked the hdparam -d (I think) to see if DMA is enabled on all your drives? I got bit by this not to long ago adding a new 500GB drive to a very working system and found that it didn't have that enabled and caused this exact problem.</div>
