Yes, this is familiar. See:
http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2004-May/014694.html
In addition, please consider mounting your file systems with
'noatime', as this reduces the number of small writes being sent to
the disks.
2.6.x kernels have the ability to swamp the RAID controller firmware
with requests where 2.4.x kernels couldn't so easily.
Thanks,
Matt
