I don't know whether it is known that kernel 2.2.16 has a problem with
multiple devices. In the file md.c line 449

md_blocksizes[minor] <<= FACTOR_SHIFT(FACTOR((md_dev+minor)));

has to be commented to get a running kernel. The error is the following one:
grow_buffers wants to much memory - kernel message:

VFS: grow_buffers size = 16384

If I comment/erase line 449 then everything works fine.
