On x86 hardware I use initrd to initialize raid before mounting root. The mkinitrd stuff seems to do that if a /etc/raidtab exists pretty much automatically, although sometimes it helps to have the modules needed listed in /etc/mkinitrd/modules. I imagine other architectures can use the same method no matter what partition system is used for the raid devices. Len Sorensen
