True in general, but in this case the OP has SATA drives:

Very much a guess on my part, but I would suspect the SATA support in 
the 2.6.8 kernel you are using is not helping. There was a major rewrite 
or libata error handling code in later kernels, along with significant 
other SATA and RAID improvements.

Richard
