You need to patch the kernel with the raid-patch. I believe mandrake kernels
(and certainly vanilla kernels) do not yet come patched for raidtools-0.90.
Have you looked in /usr/doc/raidtools (I think that's where the rpm puts the
docs) for further information? You should be able to find Jakob's HOWTO there,
or failing that, look in http://ostenfeld.dk/~jakob/Software-RAID.HOWTO/.
And you can get the appropriate raid-patch from ftp.kernel.org under
/pub/linux/daemons/raid/alpha (use the 2.2.11 patch and ignore the 2 rejects
that throws up).
