how do you expect to boot raid0? think about that...
better do raid 1 or regular disk for the partition where your kernel lives, so
your boot loader can find your kernel, rather than have to find pieces of your
kernel spead across multiple disks...
i have found raid in 2.3.xx to so far be a little buggy. so basically, i
wanted raid / right now, i would use 2.2.x and raid1.
