I've not seen any "new" problems with the megaraid appear in newer drivers
except for a now squashed problem with 64bit support and HP firmware that
was killed pretty rapidly.

The current firmware seems to have precisely the same problems in 2.4 as
in 2.2 and nothing worse. (That is if you have spare CPU you'll probably
double your performance by throwing it in the bin and using software raid5
and a generic aic7xxx scsi controller)
