MegaRAID drivers (and hardware they drive) doesn't have very bright
history. When it works, it works. When it doesn't work, you are simply
out of luck. From what you wrote, seems you belong in "out of luck"
category.
BTW, shouldn't MegaRAID cards be hardware RAID? If you configure RAID
in card's BIOS, instead of using software RAID, does it than work correctly?
