    The fix for me was to disable all "Power Management" in the kernel and
    re-compile it. Works like a charm now :)

    Hope this can help anyone else with the same problem as me. But again, I
    think someone should take a look at it cos I think this is a bug for sure.

    Not sure what else to try. I see that you've already posted to the ata-raid
    list, so I'd hope that somebody else would reply from there. The pdcraid
    driver has not received much attention lately, so it may very well be broken
    for your configuration. Promise has released a binary/source combo driver
    similar to Nvidia's that will still work in 2.4 - you might give that a try.
    I have a
    PDC20276 based onboard raid setup, however, I use 2.6 with device mapper to
    use it. It's a bit of a pain to setup ATM - especially if you want to boot
    from it, but it can be done. Good luck,

    -Walt
