B) Using Fedora 9 and Fedora 10 Beta the RAID array is recognized but when
booting appears an error message which is actually not affecting the
functionality of the OS (The system boots up OK). Not sure of dmraid (RAID) functionality in case of a crash.

Error:
<SNIP>

The segfault sounds similar to
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=427550
The problem with the card I had was that the raid appeared with a very
long name that changes from boot to boot, with the consequence that, as
well as the segfault, the initrd referred to a a raid id that was no
longer valid, and the system booted off half of the raid, breaking the
mirroring.
The segfault was fixed in RHEL/Centos 5, and I worked around the changing
name by hacking the initrd.img .
