Install issue w/ 10.2.0.1, OEL5 using raw for ocr and vote

Question

Hello,
I am having a challenge getting the raw devices setup for ocr and vote, 10.2.0.1 and OEL5.
The raw devices are not getting created and not sure why. I have followed the steps in note 443996.1 and 465001.1 and not having any luck. What am I missing here?
Here is the contents of the 55-oracle-naming.rules:
# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/55-oracle-naming.rules
# Configure persistent, user-defined Oracle Clusterware device file names
KERNEL=="sda1", BUS=="scsi", PROGRAM=="/sbin/scsi_id", RESULT=="360001fe1000f3270000904609091002c", NAME="ocr1", OWNER="root", GROUP="oinstall", MODE="0640"
KERNEL=="sdb1", BUS=="scsi", PROGRAM=="/sbin/scsi_id", RESULT=="360001fe1000f3270000904609091002f", NAME="vote1", OWNER="oracle", GROUP="oinstall", MODE="0640"
and 60-raw.rules
# This file and interface are deprecated.
# Applications needing raw device access should open regular
# block devices with O_DIRECT.
# Enter raw device bindings here.
# An example would be:
# ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sda", RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/raw1 %N"
# to bind /dev/raw/raw1 to /dev/sda, or
# ACTION=="add", ENV{MAJOR}=="8", ENV{MINOR}=="1", RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/raw2 %M %m"
# to bind /dev/raw/raw2 to the device with major 8, minor 1.
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="/dev/sda1", RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/raw1 %N"
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="/dev/sdb1", RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/raw2 %N"
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="/dev/sdc1", RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/raw3 %N"
When I use udevtest, udevtest /block/sda/sda1, I get the following results;
[root@pdrn01 ~]# udevtest /block/sda/sda1
main: looking at device '/block/sda/sda1' from subsystem 'block'
run_program: '/bin/bash -c '/sbin/lsmod | /bin/grep ^dm_multipath''
run_program: '/bin/bash' (stdout) 'dm_multipath 21577 0 '
run_program: '/bin/bash' returned with status 0
udev_db_get_device: no db file to read /dev/.udev/db/block@sda: No such file or directory
udev_db_get_device: no db file to read /dev/.udev/db/block@sda: No such file or directory
run_program: '/lib/udev/vol_id --export /dev/.tmp-8-1'
run_program: '/lib/udev/vol_id' returned with status 4
run_program: '/sbin/scsi_id'
run_program: '/sbin/scsi_id' returned with status 1
udev_rules_get_name: no node name set, will use kernel name 'sda1'
udev_db_get_device: no db file to read /dev/.udev/db/block@sda@sda1: No such file or directory
This should be getting labeled as /dev/ocr1 as noted in note 465001.1 and the output shows /dev/sda1
udev_node_add: creating device node '/dev/sda1', major = '8', minor = '1',mode = '0640', uid = '0', gid = '6'
main: run: '/sbin/multipath -v0 8:1'
main: run: 'socket:/org/kernel/udev/monitor'
main: run: '/lib/udev/udev_run_devd'
main: run: 'socket:/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event'
main: run: '/sbin/pam_console_apply /dev/sda1 '
[root@pdrn01 ~]#
And 99-raw.rules output;
KERNEL=="raw[1-2]*", GROUP="oinstall", MODE="640"
KERNEL=="raw[3-5]*", OWNER="oracle", GROUP="oinstall", MODE="660"
So, any ideas or suggestions would be HUGELY appreciated!
TIA, Cheers!

Here is one note about raw device issue in release 5 and workaround.
Raw device technology deprecated in Release 5.
