Just to be clear, I'm running testing.
I've had a certain level of success with enabling raid0 support on the
2.4.7 kernel-source package from testing. Even managed to get that going
when compiling with gcc-3.0 (probably just lucky). The compile barfs on
2.4.9, though it doesn't seem to be in a raid-related area (could be a
symptom of a compiler bug, but I don't know yet)
I did end up having some trouble with the raid system, though, as it seemed
to clobber the partition tables on the second and third disks in my 3 drive
group.
However, this didn't really matter to me, as I'm using the entirety of
these disks and merging them together into one big device. I just changed
the config files to point, for example, at /dev/hdb instead of /dev/hdb1.
