I've looked all through dmesg, and I'm not getting a /dev/md0. I've got a /dev/md/ and a /dev/rd/. There are a whole series of files in these directories. I can fdisk /dev/rd/1 etc but fdisk reports the size as 8 megabytes?
should i be using the MD driver or the promise driver? I've also tried loading the promise raid kernel module that doesn't work.
