raid support in debian hppa distrib kernels

[Alexander Gabert <pappy@nikita.ath.cx>]

hi,

why does the debian kernel ship default with

nikita:~# grep "MD" /boot/config-2.4.9-32 
CONFIG_MD=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD=y
CONFIG_MD_LINEAR=m
CONFIG_MD_RAID0=m
CONFIG_MD_RAID1=m
CONFIG_MD_RAID5=m

is it possible to support people who want to set up rootraid 
with "FD" partitions without them being forced to recompile the kernel 
with generic raid support?

it is working for me here after i recompiled the 2.4.16 with MD support:

nikita:~# grep "MD" /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_MD=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD=y
CONFIG_MD_LINEAR=y
CONFIG_MD_RAID0=y
CONFIG_MD_RAID1=y
CONFIG_MD_RAID5=y
