Hi , I reconnected and rebooted with the kernel option
"acpi_use_timer_override" (this is the correct spelling, isn't it? -
Kernel didn't complain.). Didn't help, the same error received as
before. - I'll have to connect all disks back to my PCI-connected SATA
controllers and start rebuilding my RAID yet again.

It seems random which disk is first affected (This far, I know that it
has happened to ata1, ata3 and ata4, three of my potential disks) - I
guess it just happens to the disk that is being used at the moment when
the driver / controller acts up.)

I'm about to give in. I think I'll try to replace both ( Gigabyte
GA-N650SLI-DS4 ) motherboards, as the driver simply isn't working for
the on-board controller of these boards. Could be a combination of the
controllers and some other HW on the motherboards of course, but all is
working when I connect all disks to my non-nvidia controllers. - Guess
I'll opt for a motherboard with an intel-chipset after all...
