If you are using PERC, it is simply not compatible with Linux, and should never be. It is a terrible piece of hardware. I would recommend using dmraid

Admittedly I'm not up on the newer PERCs, but the older ones I've used were mostly LSI Logic/AMI Megaraid hardware, with Dell firmware, and seemed pretty damn solid to me. These were ultra320 scsi systems, with hotswap drive bays, and battery backed caches.
PERCs work just fine under Linux (new and old). There are more than a few people on this list using Dell servers (which a vast majority use PERC controllers.) They are tested and certified against RHEL, so I can't see a reason that they wouldn't "just work".

Okay, well to both of you. Maybe I just have heard such bad experiences that I never really cared! haha. Sorry! I heard somewhere that PERC just didn't work, but apparently I am wrong.
I've heard bad things with PERC though.
Sorry!
