Pardon the probably silly question but... Can you use RAID1 devices for your root and swap with a "straight" kernel ? (i.e. without the need for initrd/initramfs.) If that matters, the boot manager would be LILO and each MD device would be assembled from "parallel" logical partitions. -- André Majorel <URL:http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/> Do not use this account for regular correspondence.
