Jake,
Well, I took the long way around but I've finally got an answer of sorts
for you. It was staring us in the face the whole time.
The stock 6.1 kernel (2.2.12-20) has a kernel build option that for some
reason 2.2.14 doesn't - namely "Autodetect RAID partitions". It's in the
Block Devices

What version of raid comes with that kernel? AFAIK, before 0.90, the
kernel couldn't mount a root raid parition (it was before they came up
with the persistant

Will do, but it'll have to
Eric,
I am trying to speed performace and rid my kernel of all the
excess carbage. Usually I will make most parts modular that I only use
once in a while. On the other hand I prefer buiding options like raid and
my scsi card directly into my kernel. Just preference I guess.
I
I've tried all those options and am having no luck. Do you think you
could send me the saved options of your kernel that you built. I should
then only need to modify my scsi adapter and stuff. Maybe I am just
missing a module or something invisible to me.]
Thanks

Have you tried:
Compiling with the following:
- raid choices as modules
- initrd support
- the scsi adapter as a module
Make the necessary in

So, what you're saying here is that you

Not all true my friend. I installed redhat 6.1 and have two scsi disks.
/boot is raid 1 and / is raid 0. Everything works great but I recompiled
my kernel and now I am out of luck. How did Redhat do it? I am here
because I want the question answered?
That is my 2 cents,

I just recompiled again but without the initrd, but said yes to all block
raid choices as well as for my scsi adapter(2940). I just don't know!

I made an initrd image /sbin/mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.2.14.img 2.2.14
(kerel name is vmlinuz-2.2.14)
My adaptec 2940 is being found but my system cannot mount / and stops
because of this. Is there anyway I can capture the output of the startup
even though it doesn't complete? (dmesg would be nice

I am having a problem booting my newly compiled kernel. The new kernel
will not mount /root which is raid0. I looked through the configuration 5
times and cannot see what I am doing wrong. I am using 2 1gig disks with
an Adaptec 2940, abit bh6 with a celeron ppga 400. My machine runs fine
with
