Indeed, I had some rejects. Uh.
Then there is some problem like that. If you have your kernel running, what
does "cat /proc/mdstat" say? There is a little difference between the
output between the old "mdstyle" raid and the newer code (suitable with the
new raidtools-0.90).
# cat /proc/mdstat

Either get a clean kernel or a patch against your kernel version (could
be difficult).
Getting a clean kernel would be difficult since I'm already using a
kernel with SMP patches.
Hopefully a clean kernel is not necessary -- but a kernel without the
md-raid-patches.
Have a look at:
http://people.redhat.com/mingo/
There are raidpatches *and* smp patches of which I hope they are compatible.
I've no idea where to find old md-style patches, but if you get one
matching your version you could reverse-patch your kernel and apply the new
one.
Or have a look what actually collides in your reject-files.
Hope this helps,
K.-H.
Thanks
