cmygfx,
Just wanted to give an update from the Highpoint Rocketraid 2320 Release notes for the new version open source driver 1.8:
v1.8.08.0303 2008-03-03
Fix compile error on 2.6.24.
Fix synchronize cache fail when reboot.
Fix rebuild fail condition when Continue Rebuilding on Error enabled.
Fix compatible issue on SR3610.
Fix one error condition when RAID50 transform.
Add RAID recovery support.
If you or anyone hasn't seen this yet, you might want to take a look. I should solve that particular problem. I'm not using that kernel yet, so I can not confirm the fix.

Every post I have ever seen on the subject here at LQ suggests using Linux s/w RAID instead. Is this a possibility for you? Have you considered it?

As for software raid, I have found that the 2320 blows the pants off performance wise. Any good raid card should. It also depends on what your using it for.
Good luck
