There are no problems, but the Redhat installer doesn't handle it.
(the 6.2 one does I believe).
I have 6.1 running on root RAID, there aren't any problems. (I had to
install to a non-RAID disk, then create a mirror w/ a failed disk, copy the
data over, boot off the mirror, and then hot-add the single disk back in.)
If you want RAID5 or something for the root disk, you have to seperate /boot
(or where your kernel is located) first since LILO can't deal with RAID
directly.
