probably, you are not REALLY running a patched kernel.
if you
cat /proc/mdstat
and see stuff about /dev/md0 being 'inactive'
then you are running an unpatched kernel, need to check lilo and make sure the
new kernel is there. also check your patch for rejects and your config to have
raid built in.
if you see:
Personalities :
read_ahead not set
unused devices: <none>
instead, then you are running a patched kernel, and your problem must lie
elsewhere (try recompiling the raid tools from source)
