Hmmm, well if your kernel is mountiing /dev/mdx as root, then you've got
the driver issue figured out.

It sounds like perhaps you're missing the raid-extra-boot line (the
howto you listed on docman.sf.net describes it)?  This should load
complete boot stuff onto any disks you specify on the configuration
line.  If you're using LBA32, ignore the notes about a /boot partition -
you shouldn't need it anymore.

Now I'm gonna have to go over these docs and figure out what they did to
get it working with stock kernels that I missed!
