Maybe the raid card has a pin shorted to ground, so all reads of

I see this fairly frequently on our own mainboards due to a problem
with the soldering of a surface mount pci bridge chip on the bottom
of the board.
I've also seen this problem with a faulty case where a small metal
support shorted a couple pins on the PCI riser. It gave odd PCI ids,
corrupted data, and crashed within a minute of booting. After
removing the metal bracket, it's been stable for almost a year.
