This issue is affecting me as well. 2.6 kernels worked with sil5744 with no issues during heavy usage. 3.0 and 3.1 kernels have consistently corrupted the raid shortly after access. Using ext3 file system. Here is kernel output from startup. New to this, let me know if I need to post additional info.
