Make very, very sure that you're actually running your new patched kernel;
just building the raid modules and trying to load them with your old kernel
will NOT work.

This is the classic Kernel Raid 0.36, raidtools 0.90 conflict. Here's the
much more descriptive error message from the nextrelease of mkraid (patch
by Tom Livingston):

ERROR: Unsupported md version in kernel!
mkraid has determined that you are using a kernel that includes an older
version of the RAID patches than this version of mkraid supports. Your
kernel RAID version is 0.36, while mkraid requires a version of 0.90
or higher.  Newer raid kernel patches can be obtained from:
ftp://ftp.XX.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/raid/alpha/
where XX is a country code, like US
