CentOS 5.3? [..] Any ideas on where to go from here? I'd really like to avoid software raid.
Get a better RAID controller, from the looks of things that looks to be one of those cheap shit software RAID controllers that depend on the drivers to do most of the work. Supermicro last I checked at least didn't have any boards that had good RAID controllers on them, even their zero channel controllers while I'm sure are probably higher grade then the on board controller still look poor by comparison.
I had a similar situation on a bunch of HP DL320s a couple of years ago, they came with Adaptec hardware "RAID" as well, we found out pretty quick that the drives were corrupting themselves underneath the controller and even doing a "full check" on the drives via the controller said they were good.
Software RAID ended up being what we went with.
Cheap hardware raid is worse than software raid.
