I had nothing but trouble on my one system with an Areca ARC-1210 using
the 2.6.18-92 kernel from 5.2 you said worked fine for you.  The problem I
ran into was similar to yours, the card just went off-line mysteriously
under load.

I upgraded that system to run a stock 2.6.22.19 using the same basic
configuration as the stock RHEL kernel and all the issues went away, so I
never circled back to check the later 2.6.18 releases from them.
