Sorry for the mundane problem, but I have absolutely no clue why this
doesn't work. I have 3 machines successfully running the Linux RAID
stuff, but this one "just won't work."

Syslog shows nothing. I've tried every combination of drives and
personalities that I can think of. My other (working) boxes are all
Redhat 6.0 with 2.2.5. Did something quietly break along the way?
Thanks for any help anyone can offer.
