I hadn't thought of that - thanks! I used an initial
ramdisk to start up the array, but this will be alot

I get a error in ll_rw(something or other) when it
tries to mount the non-started array.

How are you booting your system?
Is there any way to replace SRM with something that
could boot off regular partitions?
