I'm thinking Florin means the kernel is not compiled with support by
default.

This package includes the tools you need to set up and maintain a software
RAID
device under Linux. It only works with Linux 2.2 kernels and later, or 2.0
kernel specifically patched with newer raid support.
To me that implies a 2.2.x kernel does not need a patch. On Mandrake 6.1,
the required RAID modules were already in place after installation.
