What is the exact version of both the controller and the operating 
system? PERC 5/i works fine for several of my machines:

mfi0: <Dell PERC 5/i> mem 0xf80f0000-0xf80fffff,0xde4e0000-0xde4fffff 
irq 78 at device 14.0 on pci2
mfi0: Megaraid SAS driver Ver 2.00

the above one is FreeBSD 6.3.

It might be that they've changed the hardware revision so it's not 
supported by the old drivers, so check with pciconf -lv that you have 
something like this:

mfi0 at pci2:14:0: class=0x010400 card=0x1f031028 chip=0x00151028 rev=0x00 
hdr=0x00
     vendor     = 'Dell Computer Corporation'
     device     = 'PERC 5/i RAID Controller Integrated RAID controller'
     class      = mass storage
     subclass   = RAID
