mdtools 0.42 doesn't require a kernel patch to work, so I assume the SuSE kernel
doesn't include this patch. You need to rebuild the kernel with the raid0145
patch which you can get from
http://www.country.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/raid/alpha. You might be
better off getting the matching raidtools from there as well, instead of using
the rpm.

Alternatively, you could use mdtools 0.42 or raidtools 0.50 and not bother with
the patch. But you would probably be better off with the latest raid support.

I installed the raid 0.90 tools and installed and patch the 2.2.6
kernel.  Though I did it from source .. don't know if that matters.
Corse .. getting Yast to believe it's root fs was /dev/md0 is a
completely different storry.
