I've used it successfully, although I didn't use the redhat binary (built
my own from source + redhat patch).
All the files necessary for booting should be on the same device,
preferably in the /boot directory. The above config file with a boot image
on another filesystem will cause trouble.
Also, take care that the raid device you specify on the boot= line is the
device for the /boot filesystem, NOT the root filesystem (in case they're
different).
