Apply the 2.2.11 raid patch to the 2.2.12 kernel, then get the 0.90 raidtools.
You'll get one error in the 2.2.11 raid patch, as it's got 1 part already built
in to the 2.2.12 kernel. Just answer "n n" to the questions.
Recompile the kernel, and check the disks with fdisk... Make sure the partition
starts at cyl 1, not 0, as 0 is for the superblock and it will get overwritten
and trash the raid. Also ensure the line
persistent-superblock 1
is in raidtab.
What controllers are you using?
