Hello,
I'm working on upgrading a very old Gentoo system for my work.
Some software is only running well in 2.4.x kernels, and when doing other
updates I inadvertently updated past glibc-2.3.5, and so now the 2.4 kernel
does not boot (Fatal error, kernel too old). Fortunately there is a 2.6

A couple of things when you reboot into the live cd you need to tell mdadm
to assemble the drive /dev/md3 with the command mdadm -A /dev/md3 /dev/sda3
/dev/sdb3. As for the booting problem i think it may be that you are missing
a driver did you put the md raid 1 driver into the kernel. Last Neil ha
