Bug#741239: This may be caused by buggy ROM RAID code...here's my evidence...

["Gutow, Jonathan H" <gutow@uwosh.edu>]

My system:
Linux <nodename> 3.2.61-030261-generic #201407112035 
SMP Sat Jul 12 00:36:16 UTC 2014 
x86_64 
x86_64 
x86_64 
GNU/Linux

Running an i7 on X79 board.  I got rid of these error messages and the slow behavior by turning off the ROM RAID stuff and rebuilding my RAID array using just the Linux Software RAID.

Note, one other thing changed that may also be important.  Because I made a mistake when I partitioned the new RAID array, I am no longer running a swap on the RAID.  Instead it is running on the single drive that also houses the root and boot partitions.

I could not get reliable booting on my system if the OS was on the RAID.
