4 x 120GB Maxtor discs on a HighPoint RocketRAID 1540 (HPT374 chipset). I
have .sfv files (crc), and also copies on another system.

No corruption when running with SMP disabled (compiled out of the kernel).

This is with a 6-CURRENT kernel compiled from sources cvsuped shortly after
the IPI patch was submitted to CVS.
