Jake,
Well, I took the long way around but I've finally got an answer of sorts
for you. It was staring us in the face the whole time.
The stock 6.1 kernel (2.2.12-20) has a kernel build option that for some
reason 2.2.14 doesn't - namely "Autodetect RAID partitions". It's in the
Block Devices section after "Multiple devices driver support" and before
"Linear (append) mode". I built a 2.2.12 kernel without it and it won't
boot, probably with the same error messages you're seeing.
I'm not sure if it's a patch in the 2.2.12 kernel that for some reason
isn't in 2.2.14 or if it's an "extra" thrown in by RedHat or what but
that's the culprit. I'm also not sure what you're going to do about it.
It may be worth posting a message to one of the kernel development mailing
lists.
If you're bent on having the 2.2.14 kernel, you'll either have to see if
you can get a patch for the 2.2.14 kernel or do without raid on your boot
partitions, which you probably don't want to. If you're not bent on the
newer kernel, I'd revert to the 2.2.12-20 kernel that comes with 6.1 and
compile your own there.
If you do decide to try and get a patch, let me know and tell me how you
went about applying the patch. I've never actually patched the source tree
and I'd be interested to know how it's done.
