One thing to be aware of (I got caught with this one just yesterday!) is the
50-udev.permissions file seems to be read from the bottom up. Either that or
wildcards take precedence. I left the line in there that says
raw/*:root:disk:0660
Having lines like this below that line seem to just be ignored:
raw/raw12:crsha:oinstall:0644
raw/raw22:crsha:oinstall:0644
raw/raw42:crsha:oinstall:0644
raw/raw11:root:oinstall:0660
raw/raw21:root:oinstall:0660
You need to comment out the wildcard line (i.e. #raw/*:root:disk:0660) for it
to work.
Note I did absolutely minimal testing to prove this. A reboot without the
wildcard line commented out didn't change the permissions correctly, a reboot
with the wildcard did. Maybe someone with more RH4 knowledge than me can say
why this happens, I was just in a hurry to MAKE it happen. :)

or adding something like this to /etc/rc.local (raw1 OCR and raw2 is
voting), which I think is what the installation docs suggests.
chown root:oinstall /dev/raw/raw1
chmod 660 /dev/raw/raw1
chown oracle:oinstall /dev/raw/raw2
chmod 660 /dev/raw/raw2
chown oracle:oinstall /dev/sdb1
chown oracle:oinstall /dev/sdb2
chmod 660 /dev/sdb1
chmod 660 /dev/sdb2
But editing /etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions is a more
elegant solution I think (and new to me).
