Sure -- I would think it would be included in
kernel-image-2.2.17-compact kernel actually. Can you file a bug

I don't disagree, but do you think you could look at the "technical

If it gets supported by 2.2.17-compact kernels, it will get supported
by boot-floppies. What we don't yet support is the full raid tools
0.90 etc yet unfortunately.
