Have you tried to recreate the initrd:
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.19-16mdk.img  2.4.19-16mdk
(according to docs, it should be able to recognize all needed modules)

if not...

mkinitrd --with=raid0 /boot/initrd-2.4.19-16mdk.img  2.4.19-16mdk

dont forget to rerun lilo after you have made the new initrd,
or it won't be mapped correctly...
