this is not really important, but you should have used the raid devices
as a target.

did you mount /dev, /proc and /sys before chrooting?
i.e
mount --bind /dev /newroot/dev
mount -t proc /proc /newroot/proc
mount -t sysfs /sys /newroot/sys

an error about not finding the 3w_9xxx driver, but I don't need to load
that in the initrd anyway so I reran with --builtin=3w_9xxx so that
mkinitrd would skip that driver that I don't need.
BUT, after all of this, I get a bunch of errors when I try to run lilo:
Fatal: Trying to map files from unnamed device 0x0000
