My question now is: what would be the better way to implement RAID 5 on this server? Should I use the detected array and respective driver or should I delete the array and go for Linus Software RAID?
I've installed RHEL 4 on several IBM eSeries servers with ServeRaid controllers and I despise them. They fail too often and often don't tell you that they are having problems until it is too late. My suggestion is to use Linux software for your RAID array, and bypass the ServeRaid controller entirely.
