This certainly won't help you with your specific problem, but you can
eliminate the RAID controller driver issue, while also increasing
modularity, by using an external SCSI-to-SCSI controller. These have SCSI
channels to connect to host SCSI boards and other disk channels to connect
to bunches of disks, far more than you can stick into your server box. The
modularity makes it easy to move the entire disk farm from server to server
if necessary.
