This sounds exactly like the stuff I fought for half a year.
My motherboard was an Arima/Rioworks HDAMA and something on that board
just didn't like Promise chips. This was a bit of a problem as the
onboard SATA channels are Promise.
I've heard that recent bios updates should have fixed it, but I have
not been able to check it.
If you have a HDAMA motherboard and a bios upgrade does not fix it,
return the board and tell them that you have the "promise data corruption
problem" and want a board that works.
