Not necessarily, similiar problems here. When we tried to install a 5.1 system with the Intel fake raid, the raid of the installed system didn't work because of identical LVM ids. In 5.0 we didn't encounter that problem, but the RAID became inconsistent after a while. Unfortunateley I couldn't spend the time to explore the prob extensively but switched to a true hardware raid (3-ware). On that system we sometimes encounter problemes with the home partition (ext3) which is no longer usable. We had to make a new filesystem and replay the backup. (Un-)fortunately the problem is not reproducible on a regular base. "Most times" it works. I'm not shure if it is due to the regular file system or the Xen virtualisation layer. We are still exploring the details.
