I am currently using Fedora Core 2 kernel 2.6.8-1.521smp. I have set up a raid1 on /dev/md0 from /dev/sda1 & /dev/sdb1. Both partitions have been set to type 0xfd. When I boot the raid is not started. After the boot has completed I can manually mdadm --assemble --scan & mdadm --stop --scan, so I know I have a workable raid1 setup. Q1) How do I check the kernel to see whether auto-detection is included? Q2) Can you point me to a good site for compiling in auto-detection?
