	After some additional debugging and detective work, I figured out
the catalyst for the crash... RAID partition autodetect by the kernel at
boot time. Once I changed the types of the partitions on the raid disks to
83 (from fd), and rebooted, the system did not autodetect any raid arrays
and came up fine with either 2.2.18 or 2.2.19 (w/new style raid patches
applied [0]). Then I was able to start the raid up using /etc/init.d/raid2
and everything looks to be working just fine now.
	Guess that is par for the course when using non-offical kernel
patches, espeically on an non-intel platform... :) Thanks for everyone's
help, and if I can be any more help in actually solving this problem
(other than working around it), let me know.
