Paul, The usual problem with custom raid is at boot time. You compile a nice custom kernel but the bootup environment lacks the ability to use the raid. You need to add your raid module into your kernel image in the boot directory. You can uncompress that image using cpio and then treat it pretty much as a regular kernel. Good luck, Karl Tatgenhorst On 10/17/07, Paul VanGundy <pvangundy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > All, > > Hello.
