Why make a /boot at all? It just complicates things, and as grub is able to
boot from reiserfs, there's actually no reason to make a /boot partition
anymore. (Yes, I also have a /boot - but only because I just learned that
grub can read from reiserfs - next install will just be one / which is gonna
be reiserfs).

*I* don't need aha152x - why should this module be loaded in this case? And
aren't there some drivers which may conflict?

As soon as Mandrake can be installed to a raid-/, I suspect that there will
be quite some.

I've asked this quite some time ago: Why built ide into the kernel? initrd
works like a charm - why not move ide and also ext2 to initrd?

I'm not following you here...
