Seconded, hit ctl-alt-f2 during the install where is asks you if you want redhat to automajically partition or use diskdruid.
Fdisk your disks creating the desired setup (type fd for raid). Then use mdadm to create your raids. 

The only issue I found is if your going to put LVM on top of the raid, when you go back to the GUI to add your mount points on the partitions youve made the LVM button dont work ! Just double click the vg in the white window and it lets you add your LV's .

Good Luck :)
