If you got 2.0.35, 36 or 2.2.3 or 2.2.5 of slackware to work (I'm using the
v36 cdrom for the rest of the system), then please tell me your secret.
How did you get it set up? So far as the force switch goes, don't you
think that if I went to the trouble of running strace, patching mkraid,
building with serveral kernels, that I didn't trying several forms of
rebuilding the disks? Including making structures to force the need of the
switch? ;-)
Yeah, I tried a bunch of stuff -- I'm looking for someone who actually has
it working and can tell me how to start from one of these kernels and
really make it start. But thanks for the thought -- Joe B.
