I can create the software array but I am warned that it will NOT be bootable nor can a MBR be created nor can a swap partition be created because until the boot is complete, the software array is not available/stable. That is the warning message I get (and heed). I can install to a 5th drive and create the array, but this is a 5 drive solution to a 4 drive problem.
Richard, Why don't you repost a new thread about the above. Personally I do use real hardware raid (3ware cards) so I don't know how to do a bootable md-raid setup, but I know it has been discussed on this list before. If I recall correctly you manually mirror the mbr and possibly /boot. Then you have the raid 5 setup defined in your initrd.
