The crash occurs in the hpt366 module. Loading hptraid will not work 
because it depends on the kernel to claim the disks of the raid volume 
(that is what hpt366 would do). I will add autoloading of the 
ide-controller module in the next raid-driver release. However, I do not 
know why the kernel oopses. You might want to try to build the hpt366 
code into the kernel instead of a module. If it works it would probably 
mean that "ide_hwif_t *hwif" was not properly initalized.
