i just rebuilt the kernel using the following procedure:
make mrproper
make xconfig # loaded configuration from file
make dep
make bzImage
make install
make modules
make modules_install
but the result is still the same and the kernel is unable to mount the
root filesystem.

the root filesystem is on a Mylex AcceleRAID RAID array and the driver is
enabled in kernel config (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DAC960=y). LVM, ext2 and ext3 are
also enabled. all of these are statically built into the kernel.

i'm unable to do this because Grub can't do filename completion on the
RAID array disks. when i give the command 'root (hd0,1)' Grub complains:
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x82.
