Can't read that? Custom compiled kernel and cac error speaks by themselves; dirty solution, try other disk controller. Best solution, discard you don't have bad hardware and, if everything is ok, make contact with developers and help searching for a code patch to improve the RAID adapter driver

But even measuring the ripple with a scope won't guarantee it's OK. Swapping out all of the hardware is sometimes the only way to find out. Same goes for memtest86+: it can prove it's broken, but if it doesn't find problems it doesn't guarantee there are none. -- Jussi Peltola
