        If you want to use the new-style RAID with 2.0 or 2.2 kernels, you
should get a patch for your kernel, either from
ftp://ftp.[your-country-code].kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/raid/alpha, or
more recently from http://people.redhat.com/mingo/ The standard 2.2
kernels does not have direct support for the new-style RAID described in
this HOWTO. Therefore these patches are needed. The old-style RAID
support in standard 2.0 and 2.2 kernels is buggy and lacks several
important features present in the new-style RAID software.

        Go download the new-style RAID patches for 2.2.19, recompile
kernel, and all will be well. I beat my head on a wall for 2 days on this
problem once, I know exactly what you're talking about, and this will fix
it. Cheers! :)
