Yeah! That's really true. Documentation for the 2.2-kernel is not very
clear, even in the howto!
I thought that enableing raid in the kernel-config is enought, too. But in
reality you need to apply also the raidpatch (raid0145-*2.2.0*[gz|bz2]
somewhere by ftp.xx.kernel.org/pub/*/daemons/raid/alpha/). The patch works
at least with 2.2.1, too. Some patches will be rejected (mmap.c, genhd.c),
here you need only to modify the *.c on your own, this should be easy,
because only the lines differs and things which are going to be removed
are not completely the same.
I will try this today with 2.2.2 (already patched, but not compiled...).
Does it work now?
