Re: Problems with PDC20276 ataraid under 2.4.24 kernel

[Paul Galbraith <paul@paulgalbraith.net>]

This was just a matter of enabling the appropriate modules in the kernel 
with modconf.

I don't know much of anything about initrd, but could my problem be 
caused by a config change in the initrd image?  Won't people who need to 
boot off of an ataraid drive have a major issue with this?
