Matt,
Thanks for your reply.
My initial responses are:
1. this computer was manufactured by Dell not IBM. Not sure if I am
misunderstanding something.
typo - I meant dell, don't know why I typed IBM, maybe I had IBM on the
brain at the moment
2. Monolithic kernel - as per the lfs suggestions. There is a chicken-egg
problem if I use a modular driver for the raid
Thats great, just checking
3. The debian installer always creates an initrd. LFS book suggests not
using one. I need to look in to how I can check what is in the initrd image.
yes, your right it does create one, but whats in it and is it being used
to control the disk controller ? is it the same controller in the kernel
? etc
4. Grub options are pretty straight forward in this case. But I will check
again
Just covering bases
5. Filesystem support is correct: Ext2, Ext3
as above
