Comments/Problems:
There was a problem converting this systme to RAID.
/lib/modules/2.4.25kps2/kernel/drivers/md did not contain raid1.o !!
rebooting degraded raid on /dev/md2 would fail with out giving clues -
much time to figure this one out.
mkinitrd did not report error and only when I updated to 2.4.26 did I
get the needed driver.
Really need RAID install support with LVM
