  I think LVM2 can do at least raid0 on its own. I don't know whether

 LVM works fine on Alpha, though personally I'm using LVM2 now :-)
 Yes it wil do RAID0 without md. if you want RAID1 or RAID5 then you
 need to set up md and /then/ LVM

ok, I will leave md out then...
Another thing, under /usr/src I have a directory kernel-patches with an 
executable inside. Do I need to apply those patches manually, or is it 
done by make-kpkg?

hm, I just wanted to remove md support from the kernel, but that 
deactivates LVM also...
In xconfig it's under the option Multi device support (Raid and LVM), 
and when I remove the Multiple devices driver support (RAID and LVM), 
the option LVM support gets greyed out...

That's right Multiple devices driver support (RAID and LVM) is just a general
thing that covers md and LVM1, there's no actual code involved. To disable md
simply don't select any of the RAID options on that menu.

The options are only grouped together cos they do similar things, not because 
they share code.
