Here is my improved (but still not perfect) patch to the /sbin/mkinitrd
script so that you can use mkinitrd2 to create an initial ramdisk to boot
Fedora Core 4 using dmraid. I found out
that if you don't have any drives that are using lvm it didn't set up
the device mapper properly so added the root_lvm=1 line.
