How do I tell the kernel I want RAID-5?

2000-08-11 Thread Ryan Daly
This is going to sound pretty stupid, but here goes anyway... I got 2.2.16 and the latest patch from kernel.org, applied it and started to rebuild. The question is, where do I tell the kernel to use RAID-5? I can't see it in the 'make menuconfig' stuff anywhere... Am I missing something here?

Can you show us your lilo.conf? Do you have a default label set? Does lilo-21.5 include RH's boot from RAID1 patch, or another boot from RAID1 patch? No I don't have the default label set - I tend to like having the option of alternate kernels as a rescue mechanism. I guess I don't have
