Hello--
I have just upgraded to the latest development kernel 2.3.5 (needed it
to fix a bug in a crappy IDE controller) and it would appear that the
standard raidtools that come with RedHat 6.0 don't like the new kernel.
I did indeed compile in the RAID personality support in the kernel. But
I did not apply any patches (are there some that are needed???)
I would appreciate any help in getting RAID working with the 2.3 series
of kernels.
Here is some system information that may help out:
