no you are just a bit confused by different raid versions
1) i don't believe you running kernel 2.1.15
2) from your mail i suppose you don't need to save data from
your old raid set
first you should read the excellent howto at
http://ostenfeld.dk/~jakob/Software-RAID.HOWTO/
then my quick recipe
use either redhat's kernel or kernel 2.2.13ac2
use the raidtools package from the redhat cd
do mkraid with your proposed raidtab (it looks ok)
change the partition type to 0xfd for the raid disks
if you have the raid1 code compiled as a module
(eg. redhat default kernel) do
mkinitrd --with raid1 /boot/initrd-2.2.5-15.img 2.2.5-15
and add the line initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.5-15.img
to your lilo.conf
