Well, this story has a good ending.
The computer is back, with the same RAID, on the same disks, but a
brand new motherboard with a different RAID controller. I believe what
saved the day was that both RAID implementations were by Intel, and
that the new BIOS was backwards compatible to the old drivers already
present.
I went from a ICH8R-based to a ICH10R-based controller, and only
afterwards I have found this to be consistent with the findings at the
"Tom's Hardware" forum:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/RAID-MIGRATION-ADVENTURE,1640.html
They tested compatibility between versions up to ICH9R.
phew. :-)
As last time, another incoherent account can be found in my blog if you bother.
Cheers,

Eow! Glad it worked out for you.
