So, what you're saying here is that you are able to boot your machine from
RAID-mounted partitions with the stock redhat kernel, but not with your
custom kernel.
Let's review:

Yet it will work with the stock redhat kernel. Ok, the logical question
then is: "What is different between the stock Red Hat kernel and your
custom kernel?"
Others have already made some of the more obvious suggestions:
1. Make sure that the RAID stuff is created as modules.
2. Make sure you do a proper mkinitrd and update lilo.conf appropriately.
See this page for complete info:
http://www.redhat.com/support/manuals/RHL-6.1-Manual/ref-guide/s1-sysadmin-build-kernel.html
3. Make sure you enable kernel auto-loading of modules.
What else am I missing here? Maybe some of the PCI/motherboard quirk
fix options?

This list is great for information, and sometimes misinformation. You
have to take everything with a grain of salt, and a very critical eye.
