I would have thought/hoped is would be a function of the driver (megaraid). Even the driver on Intel's website is older than the one in my running kernel (2.6.9-42.ELsmp).
It looks like Intel has some utility to configure the raid array, but it has a whole slew of older dependencies (gcc, etc) which prevent it from working.
