I did it last week with 2.0.33 + raidtools 0.42 Was pretty easy. Here
is my cook book.
On another system already at 2.2.x I built a kernel with the
necessary network drivers & disk drivers + raid tools
added the raid tools and new kernel to an existing boot disk
booted old system and performed the upgrade
switched the partition types to "fd"
rebooted to clean up md construction and ext2 checks
deleted all the file in places other than
home
src
stuff like apache/java/postgres/ssl, etc...
.... basically stripped the old system away all the 2.0.33 stuff
did an NFS install using the boot disk, rebooted DONE
you could do the same thing by transferring the binaries to install
to a directory on the array and installing from the disk directly --
if you have room
after that, I setup lilo to boot from a second raid1 mini-partition
so everything is raid including my root boot.
