Another known problem is that FC5 mapping created with the original dmraid gets "stuck". Using mkinitrd doesn't update to the new mapping (that eliminates the stripe size error). The device mapping is stored inside the initial initrd file inside the "init" file. You may have to unpack the ramdisk edit that file manually and repack to get it to work.
Also if the rpm is for fc6 you could instead download the dmraid source files and compile the newer version on fc5 with gcc.

Here's some outputs that may help?
Base Kernel that works, 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp
dmraid, updated to rc11, can't get rc13? seems linked with FC6 stuff
device-mapper, 1.02.02-3.2
device-mapper-multipath, 0.4.5-12.2
Kernel that updated and can't load, 2.6.18-1.2239.fc5smp
Output when attempting to load
device-mapper: table: 253:0: striped: Target length not divisible by
chunk size
device-mapper: reload ioctrl failed: invalid argument
Then it panics after that as labels are missing etc...
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
