I think that was it! I updated the promise 378 driver to a newer one for
xp/win2003 and this time I used the driver for win 2003. The problem seems to
have gone away. So don't use promise 1.00.1.37, use the 1.00.1.39 instead.

Should I generally use a driver for win 2003 instead of a xp driver when
that's the only choices I have for vista?
