We had some checksum problems on some of our very early boxes, due to
problems with a Highpoint SATA RAID card. That got fixed eventually.
I can't say that I've ever seen a software cause for faulty checksums,
but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen.
With the progression you describe, I might be inclined towards
blaming hardware. Is it feasible to swap out controller cards?
