How big are your disks? I just did this with 2.2.12 (original kernel) and
two 13.6 GB disks. It works fine here though lilo complained a bit as well
when I re-ran /sbin/lilo to add my vga statement for framebuffer. From the
look of it you did this with a single partition plus swap... I didn't do it
that way... I'm going to attach my raidtab for you to eyeball and see if it
helps.

What version of raidtools is in 2.2.13? Are they enabled as modules or are
they built in to the kernel?
Also... to get the thing working with 2.2.12 and the upgraded funtionality
that you need it may be possible to patch 2.2.12 with the added funtionality
and updates that you need without moving completely to 2.2.13. You might
talk with Alan Cox about it on the redhat-dev list.
You could actually patch 2.2.12 in place if you installed the 2.2.13 source
in parallel and ran diff. I'm just thinking out loud here but it might
help...
