What error did you get?  Same as before?

FWIW, I was able to successfully recover my corrupted array!  Had to 
update all hardware to latest BIOS/Firmware, all software and drivers to 
latest versions.  Took two days to run, but it completed, and I ended up 
only losing 2 files out of over 1.1 million files on a 1TB RAID-5 
array.  That's not too bad, considering how many times the machine went 
up and down due to bad power in the building.
