3Ware SATA RAID 8000 - Supported on 5.3-R?

Whether I run fsck manually or if I run it automagically at boot via rc 
(which happens every reboot), it fails. As I'm not at console, I can't 
tell whether the same things happen if the box is physically taken down. 
and fsck'd in single user mode. The better part of the question is, 
could this be the RAID card throwing out false errors due to not having 
complete support for 5.3-R?, as it says that it only supports the 4.x 
series.
