Thanks again for the tip. Installing the 1.37 CVS rescue tree solves the problem. One question though, if anyone has any idea...and I realize that in a recovery situation the RAID array likely wouldn't be working anyway...but while the kernel is booting it says it recognizes all the raid partitions, but gets to a point where it reports "Personality not loaded". For some reason it doesn't autoload the raid0, raid1, or raid5 modules,though manually loading them after boot works fine. Any ideas?
