Ok, the whole thing went pretty smoothly, once I was reading the right HOWTO
and was downloading the right kernel patches. :)
1. Pick up the current HOWTO from the mirrors. They're now describing
raidtools v0.90, which is what will be distributed in/with/for kernel 2.4.x.
2. Get the patches for your kernel (you better be running 2.2.16 anyway) from
http://people.redhat.com/mingo/raid-patches.
3. Configure in support for your raid level and the automatic kernel selecting
of raid partitions.
4. Run fdisk and change the partition types to autodetect raid (note: I threw
this part in myself. I'm not sure if it's necessary, but it's how the redhat
box came from dell...)
5. Read the howto on how to do the rest.
