1st- there was no reason for that patch to fail, unless perhaps redhat
shipped you a patched kernel already. download the entire tgz of the
kernel source, and trash that rpm. apply patch. insert rejects by hand.
remake kernel.
2nd- what is the root file-system when you boot with a non-raid kernel?
assuming it is /dev/sda2 (you can tell with the program 'df'), then when
you boot with the new kernel say at the lilo prompt:
linux.new root=/dev/sda2
(assuming linux.new is what you called your new setup, and sda2 is your
root, modify as needed)
if that works, modify your lilo setup to say root=/dev/sda2, or look at
rdev ('man rdev') to change the root device in the kernel.
