Comments/Problems:

base-config -> tasksel -s :
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libreadline-common: 
    Conflicts: libreadline4 (< 4.3-13) but 4.3-11 is to be installed
-> solved by installing version 4.3-14 (unstable dist)

Recompiling kernel to add SMP support:
Using kernel-source-2.4.27, no SMP option available in .config file.  
Manually adding in CONFIG_SMP=y and running menuconfig triggers
CONFIG_NR_CPUS option to become available, but still the SMP option not
visible. Running make-kpkg OK, but dpkg -i kernel_image does not create
any initrd.img.  We did not try any further kernel recompilation , but
installed instead kernel-image-2.4.27-1-686-smp

RAID performance: 
Running Bonnie on the Raid array using kernel-image-2.4.27-1-686-smp gives
an unexpected 5% decrease in I/O compared to using the preinstalled
2.4.27-1-386 kernel.  We are still happy: we get 114Mb/s write, 74Mb/s
read.  If you wish more info on this, please let me know.

'Ghost' devices on boot:
Discover finds non-existent ich2rom device.
