Well, you must not mix "RedHat" and "Linux" - if you do this, you
might get trouble with all the Mandrake-, SuSE-, Debian-, Caldera-,
Corel-, StormLinux-, Slackware- and whatever-fans out there...
In the _official_ 2.2.x-kernel only the old (0.5?) RAID-code is
included, if you want the newer 0.9-code, you'll have to patch it. But
RedHat - like most other distributors - ships kernels with some
unofficial patches. In the case of RedHat 6.x this includes the new
raidcode. AFAIK the new code will be included in the official
2.4-kernel, which comes RSN (tm).
