ditto. i got this same result under, um, 2.2.5 i think, and when i backed
off my linux installation to RH5.2 instead of RH6.0, suddenly,
everything's fine.
since i like pain, i'm in the midst of trying to get Mandrake 6.1 on the
box, and make the raid work again. hah. it is to laugh.
# raidstart /dev/md0
/dev/md0: Invalid argument
# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [1 linear] [2 raid0] [3 raid1] [4 raid5]
read_ahead not set
md0 : inactive
md1 : inactive
md2 : inactive
md3 : inactive

this is the same raidtab that worked yummy under RH5.2 dist.
i already ran a mkraid --upgrade, that went fine, so it says. when later,
i decided i could ressurect the RAID from tape, and ran mkraid to make a
new raid, i get the same results rick pasted above and the same lack of
any kind of detail about it.
