ALL RIGHT, the initrd approach WORKED, and I did not have to (ugh, yech)
recompile any kernels!
mkinitrd --preload raid5 /boot/initrd 2.2.5-15
was the magic command (for raid5), and in lilo.conf you then
have to replace the version number line with
initrd=/boot/initrd
and then call lilo and reboot.
Many thanks,
Larry Dickson
