Hi 
I'm having pretty unusual disk layout 
i have only 3 normal partitions ( /boot and 2x / for 2 installations)
and may be about 15  partitions which are soft raids and on the top of
them I'm having LVM volumes ( i have 3 disks)

because of that i normally recompile the kernel with built in support
for raid and lvm, but for some days i tried to boot the standard smp
kernel 2.4.18-1mdk and it wasn't that nice
it couldn't  find any VG or LV , and then i found out that my
/proc/mdstat is empty

so my question
is it possible to add in mkinitrd checking for /proc/mdstat and
/proc/lvm/global and if necessary to add the needed modules

i know the reason( at least i think so )
i don't have /etc/raidtab for some months ,
as i didn't modify the raids in the last 9 months and since then there
where a lot of installations and i don't need /etc/raidtab  if i have
raid auto detect

kind regards

svetljo
