Except maybe when the cron process does updatedb or whatever??

I have another controller (a BusLogic) that plugs into the PCI buss that 
I can also use instead of the on-board controller.  I don't want to 
have to use it in the long run because my favorite kernel is compiled 
for the Symbios controller so I'll need to tweak things if I need to 
switch over for any extended period, but at least it will narrow down 
the problem.
