This seems MCP55 related.
   I have moved my two PATA SATA converted drives onto a Sil 3132 2-port 
PCI-E controller. I have no drives on the MCP55 SATA ports. I have cabled 
my 3rd drive directly into the MCP55 IDE port. No problems whatsoever with 
7.0 now. My zfs raidz has come back to life :)
   The system reboots properly now and the BIOS is happy restarting the PC.
   7.0 is definately doing something screwy with the MCP55 SATA 
controllers, but only when a drive is connected to them. Otherwise it's 
fine.
   Many thanks.
