Comments/Problems:

There were problems with the onboard nForce4 sata controller. First, the
default setting in BIOS was to not have any "IOMMU" memory, which caused
the hard drive partitioning to fail (the hds were detected, but all write
attempts timed out). With IOMMU enabled, the partitioning succeeded, and
the system could install and boot. However, after a few hours, one of the
RAID-1 disks started timing out, and was removed from the RAID set. I
could not get the sata_nv module to work reliably, so I installed a
Promise SATA300 TX4 PCI SATA-controller instead, which seems to work
fine. The new mdadm support in the installer is a truly Good Thing!
