RedHat 9 and Megaraid 320-1 SCSI RAID Controller

I have a server with a Megaraid 320-1 SCSI RAID controller, with 6 seagate 10K.6 drives. This server experiences intermittent crashes due to MCE (machine check exception) and kernel OOPS. Sometimes it just hangs with no messages in the log.

We ran memtest86 v3.1 for about 2 hours and it came back clean. I had the guys at my datacenter go over my logs looking for discrepancies...but nothing. No software config errors either. They seem to think that there is some kind of incompatability with the LSI Megaraid controller and Linux.

Megaraid is the OEM for some of Dell's PERC controllers, so I would figure that Megaraid SHOULD NOT have any issues with Redhat...otherwise Dell would probably not use them as an OEM. I'd like to know if anyone else can shed some light on this for me. Thanks.
