 Good news -- it looks as if the Linux folks have a working driver
 for the ICH5R with RAID0 and RAID1 support.  The Linux patch in
 question is written by a bloke from Intel.
 
 If someone could please forward this follow-up over to Soren, I'd
 appreciate it.  I have a feeling this may help solve some of our
 problems, the biggest of which is why BTX is dying.

 Also: I have a lot of free time presently which could be used to
 assist in debugging this entire ordeal (re: BTX panic).
 
 It's also possible for me to provide a kernel/module developer
 with VNC access to a Windows XP box in my abode that is hooked
 to the SuperMicro 5013C-T box via serial console (BIOS-level),
 therefore debugging could be done remotely by a kernel-dev if
 necessary.
