The Red Hat init scripts are broken for raid. You can either let the
kernel autodetect by setting the partition type or you can correct the RH
rc.sysinit.
If you choose the latter edit /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit and replace the
instances of raidadd with /sbin/raidstart. I have found that it does not
always work when using `raidstart -a' so I explicitely start each array
like so:
action "Starting Raid0 array on /dev/md0" /sbn/raidstart /dev/md0
