Yeah I am still using the machines in question for pretty heavy I/O load
(they are dedicated storage servers for an OpenVZ cluster). They are
running RAID5 from the card. Can't remember the specs on it, if I could
run the CLI tool I would tell you. But its a definite regression in that
if the CLI tool doesn't work anymore, then we can't monitor the RAID for
failures, and then don't know if a drive has failed. btw, just so
everyone knows, there is a couple of nagios plugins to monitor this card
using the CLI tool here:

(sorry about the massive url).

I don't get any other errors out of the cards unless I run the tool. Of course 
areca may release a different version of CLI64 that makes the problem go away 
as well.
For my money, I would try and get the latest drive into the Hardy kernel though.
