Hrmm... Just took a look at the code for mkinitrd ...
I'm not much of a shell programmer, and I don't have a great concept of
what the script does... So I haven't the foggiest of the how/what./why
when it comes to hacking mkinitrd...
Having said this, yes, the kernel was shipped with all necessary modules.
I have the RAID device mounted at a different mount point fine... and I
have boot as a non-RAID partition (although, I don't know if that is
necessary any more).
I can do a great job of compiling a kernel... so if needed I will... would
like to do mkinitrd the right way first though...
FWIW here is the output of `lsmod`:

Really appreciate all the feedback I've gotten from you, and everyone else
on SLUG.

IIRC the initrd is built on the fly when the kernel is installed. Thus it
will
only load the modules it needs to get things working on that system.

If your kernel was shipped with the necessary modules then that shouldn't
be
necessary, you can just hack mkinitrd to load the necessaries..
good luck!
