Doh. Yes, you're correct. I figured that out as soon as I tried to run
fdisk on it =) Boy, I feel stupid now. Anyway.... =)

How odd. Good to know though.
I DID finally get the system to work, but since I was in a hurry and the OS
was freshly installed anyway, I just re-installed the OS from scratch using the
RH6.2 CD. On install, the system saw the raid (on /dev/rd/c0d0 -- go figure)
and allowed me to format and use it. Now everything seems to be working great.
Next time though, I will know about this issue and to possibly do a modprobe
as well.
Thanks everyone for the help!
