OK, this + dmesg below point out the two problems you seem to be
having:
1) get a kernel including raid onto the machine; the dmsg still shows
it to be trying to load a raid module.
> running: <hdg1><hde1><hdc1>
> now!
> hdg1's event counter: 00000082
> hde1's event counter: 00000080
> hdc1's event counter: 00000080
2) this is a very nice example of raid slightly shooting itself in
the foot - the event coounter on one disk is out of sync, and it's
ahead of the other two. result: it tries to keek the one out-of-sync
disk and kicks the two good ones, only to later realize thatit now
only has one disk and can't do anything with it.
Solution: disconnect hdg for the moment. with a raid5-enabled kernel,
the remaining two disks should come up ok in degraded mode with this
disk removed.
reboot the system trice (to get the event counters on the remaining
two disks > 82) - this admitedly isn't exactly elegant, but easy to
do and should work.

That's the "no raid5 code in kernel" message.
Bye, Martin
