Dear Mark,

I just want to know how do you make it work, what did you  put in your
rc.sysinit and mkinitrd. As i see you won't answered my direct mail, so
i'll aske you by the ataraid list!!
Is it too secret to tell it to us, who's wait impatientely for a working
linux box on a raid array with our cheapest SATA disk?

so i tell you best regards, and i'll wait for your answer!!
Ignace
