I started seeing this when I blew away my RAID0 arrays and put RAID1 arrays on my home machine. I suspect that this is cause by RedHat putting something in the initscripts to start the RAID arrays AND the RAID slices being set to type fd (RAID autodetect), but I haven't been able to confirm

Any distro with automated raid setup?

Try RedHat 6.2 or 6.1. I've installed both onto a computer with dual 2GB SCSI drives in a RAID1. I wouldn't use anything else for /boot (assuming that's where you keep everything boot-related). I never use a RAM disk for essential things like SCSI drivers and RAID code, so that's not an issue
