Seems to go completely offline :-?
Does the card start beeping indicating a broken raid (rebuild) or the
array status is ok?
Have you checked for any BIOS update (for your motherboard and also for
the controller itself?)
Another thing you could try is to perfom the formatting from a LiveCD
(i.e., SystemRescueCD, GParted...) to discard a problem with the
kernel version used in Squeeze.
