I am using RH 6.0 and the kernel is 2.2. I am using raid .90-3, (a rpm
package) and I have looked over every doc I could find on raid. A few
newsgroups have references to the md-personality-3 problem but none have
any solutions.
If the kernel weren't compiled for raid why would it be complaining
about md-personality-3? Could it be that when I installed raid .90-3
that it applied a module to be installed at boot time but the kernel
isn't prepared to deal with it? I thought that what the modules were
for, so you could add functionality to the kernel as it is needed.
If the kernel doesn't have some required piece of raid installed, how
can I tell? Is there some query I can do to the kernel to find out? My
time is limited and I don't want to go through the trouble of setting up
to compile the kernel if I don't have to.
