Doing some research I find dmraid and this site: <http://
tienstra4.flatnet.tudelft.nl/~gerte/gen2dmraid/> and I spent a day
trying to get my system to boot using the stuff there but it would
never boot (couldn't mount the root partition). For now I will stay
with my 2.4 kernel as this machine needs to go back into production.

Hi
I have been running a 2.4 kernel for my backend java processing box
and have a promise raid controller that uses the ataraid device
under devfs. It is set to boot off of it and the lilo boot
command is something like
boot=/dev/ataraid/disc0/part1
This works fine.
I have no compiled a 2.6 kernel and did not see any kernel options
for the ataraid but I did tell it to enable the promise controller
I have. I emerged udev and it appears that the device looks like
this now
/dev/ataraid/d0p1
However, when I supply that to lilo it barfs on boot and says it
cannot mount root. It barfs on boot on both /dev/ataraid/disc0/
part1 and /dev/ataraid/d0p1
Thanks for any suggestions or help
Chad
