Don't give up that fast! I had a similar problem which was easy to
solve, though I used the standard kernel (I do not like vendor patched
kernels). Actually I had to manually add two lines to one file. My
system runs now like a charm with it's root file system on a raid1
device. If you can't figure out how to resolve I would suggest that you
start with a fresh kernel from the ftp.*.kernel.org and start patching
it with raid-0.90 and then - if you need it - with the lvm stuff.
