So the drives are fine and it was a logical error on /dev/sda (the RAID1)

If you disable the cache on the controller, I bet the error never comes
back. Check that bugzilla report, I reckon you gots the bug.
But I do not know about kernel 2.6, dell wont support it until RHEL4 is
released (next year?) and as a result, I am not up on 2.6 issues.
