Are you sure it's not due to a problem with the new BIOS version?

At a quick glance your backup/restore procedure looks OK.  Generally
problems with the restore would show up as a failure to boot properly, not
as a lockup later.  Were there any kernel messages logged?

Incidentally, you mentioned you were trying to get BIOS RAID working. 
Most of the time these aren't worth the trouble.  Most of them are
actually software RAID, implemented in the Windows driver, with some
minimal BIOS support for booting from the RAID array -- sometimes referred
to as "fakeraid."  They don't really get you anything that Linux md RAID
doesn't.
