Hi there, I have it working here - software RAID 5 on an IDE disk (yes, pointless all being on one IDE disk - I was just experimenting with it!).
AFAIK, the most important thing is to set the partition type to RAID autodetect (fd). Once you've done this you should find that the kernel will automatically set up the RAID on boot and start it (so long as you have the right tools installed). Of course, you must also have a valid /etc/raidtab but I assume that you have this set up.
