Mladen,
I guess I didn't complete my sentences. After restarting the rawdevices service the CRS installation was successful. I still don't understand what the problem was but the restart resolved it. There are still many things about RAC which are mysterious to me.
Thanks.

Bill,
what are the access rights on the devices (should be w/r by oracle
user), raw and the underlying block devices? sometimes, when restarting
rawdevices, it makes the /dev/raw/raw* w/r by root only.
another thing, your sysadmin did the formatting thing before root.sh,
no?

Mladen,
From the system adminstrator...
I stopped the rawdevices service on both nodes, formatted /dev/emcpowera1 (which is the multipathed device underlying /dev/raw/raw1), and was able to mount it and write to it from both nodes. Seems like it works to me. I've unmounted that file system and restarted the rawdevices service. You can try your install again; perhaps there was some data lingering there from a previous installation which Oracle didn't like this time around. So there was something incorrect in the way the devices were configured. As to what, I don't know. Thank you for the catch.

William, you might have a problem with your disk drives. These error messages tell me that oracle cannot read superblock, usually a bad sign. Did you try doing a simple "ls" on your
