That's ok...

Sorry for being slow, but I want to make sure: If I do this (kernel w/o
RAID support), is the RAID1 partition still accessible w/o any other
changes (e.g. change partition type with fdisk, changing /etc/fstab,
etc.)
Imagine the newbie: she installs Debian, using the default kernel. She's
only got one disk, so never notices that it's been configured as a
RAID1 system. 6 months later, she gets experimental and builds a kernel
from scratch. Since she doesn't have >1 disks, she sees no need to
enable this RAID stuff. She installs the new kernel, re-runs LILO just
make-kpkg encourages, and reboots.
Does it work?
