James:

You were right. The server was attached to controller "B" of the array. 
I attached it to controller "A" and it is working ok with 2.6.16.13 
vanilla kernel!!!

But with 2.6.9-34EL Red Hat Enterprise Stock kernel I'm still having 
errors and dmesg output is a lot more verbose. I'm attaching both dmesg 
outputs just in case it helps.
Do I need to report this to Red Hat?
Is it a bug? or a kernel configuration error?

BTW: Do anybody in this list knows how to manage this model of array 
from Linux? Any software available? Boot disk? Symplicity Software? Any 
hint you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Array model is Symbios/NCR 6285-3621.

Again, many thanks for your wonderful support!
