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?
