Bootable / with soft raid-0?

[Paladin21]

Has anyone gotten this setup to work? I would like to put the entire file system on a raid array (using the LSR). I can do all of the normal install (per the install guide) fine. However, when I boot up after finishing installing grub, etc., I get an unmountable root error. I did notice that earlier in the boot process, the RAID initialization craps out with a -22 error (I can try again and be more specific if anyone cares, away from that comp. right now). Alternatively, does anyone know what HAS to be on a normal partition, and what can be shoved off to the array? I mean, if all I need is a dummy / and I can put everything else away, that would be fine too.

I noticed on the gentoo 1.2 stage 1 ISO there are now some tools for creating RAID arrays as part of the install process. Did you check those out? (I haven't used them myself, so I can't attest to how well they do/don't work)

I guess I should have been a little more specific. The RAID array performs perfectly during the install portion (the initial one, anyway). I do modprobe md, make a raidtab, set partitions to type fd, do mkraid. Everything is perfect. I had the entire filesystem (other than /boot and swap) installed to a soft RAID array. It actually is still there. I can boot from the CD and manually mount the file system and do stuff, it just will not boot directly from the drive. It gives a make RAID error in startup (which it shouldn't, since I copied my working /etc/raidtab from the temp install to the RAID array itself). The error is -22. I have been thinking about this and I believe that the problem is that the /etc/raidtab files are ON the RAID that they are supposed to initialize. When I have a chance this evening, I am going to wipe everything and start over using a seperate partition for /etc so that the array will hopefully register correctly. Anyone have another solution for me to try?
