Nope. ASUS P3B-F motherboard w/Intel 440BX AGPset, 512MB PC100SDRAM,
Pentium III 450Mhz
I removed SMP support when I compiled the kernel.

I assume the only way to disable it is to recompile the kernel?

Sorry for my ignorance of RAID, but I'm not certain I'm following. How
do you not start RAID when it is compiled into the kernel to automount
/dev/md0 at root (I use the RedHat lilo version that allows this). Doing
a "raidstop /dev/md0"? Or reboot to a 2.2.14 kernel without RAID
compiled in?
I would just shoot in the dark at this, but I'm a little paranoid as it
is my main webserver (yes, I should have done more testing before making
it a production machine).
Thanks for the assistance.
