When compiling 2.2.16, did you apply the combined errata patch? The stock
2.2.16 kernel is riddled with bugs, including a bug in software raid. Have
a look at: http://www.linux.org.uk/VERSION/relnotes.2216.html

Yeah, it still eludes me why RedHat includes raidtools 0.90 in their
distro's, when the stock kernels aren't compatible with it. It gives lots
of people a headache when they try to setup a raid system.

Raidtools 0.50 should also be compatible. If you do a ftpsearch for it, a
couple of links should come up.
