I did add an append line. I followed all of the same instructions that were included in my "mini-how-to" except when I compiled the code statically, it would not work. When I compiled them as modules and created a ramdisk, it worked. Sounds crazy, but that what happens.

Hi I think you need Append Line for RH7.3 when you build all required features statically into the kernel. Append Line is less of a hassle than maintaining an initrd :)

As side note, you don't need the initrd and bootloader append line if you compile ataraid and pdcraid modules statically into kernel. RAID array is automatically detected during boot.
I did not find this to be the case, for some unknown reason. When I compiled the modules statically, the RAID array was not detected at all during boot. It was only after I compiled them as modules and created an initrd that the array was detected and worked successfully.
