Not quite. dmesg shows the RAID1 being recognized by the kernel and calling the
RAID-1 module to start it. This fails because the module cannot be found
(because the root filesystem has not yet been mounted and support for RAID-1 is
not included in your initrd). Something has gone wrong with your rebuild of the
kernel. You did re-run lilo to point at the new kernel after you built it,
didn't you?
Solutions:
1. Make sure you have gone through the full kernel build procedure when you have
tried to build your kernel with RAID-1 support, including rebuilding and
installing the modules and running lilo to point at the new kernel.
2. Build an initrd with RAID-1 support using something like "mkinitrd --with
raid1 /boot/initrd-raid 2.2.5-15", and make sure you run lilo to point at the
new initrd-raid.
