Thanks Alvin, but I still havent got it to work. I've tried using initrd and I still have a problem.
What is happening is that the kernel is trying to mount the root device (/dev/rd/c0d0p1) before it's loaded the DAC960 driver. Compiling the driver into the kernel doesnt help. I've set DAC960 and reiserfs as modules to load before mounting the root fs in /etc/mkinitrd/modules (I think it was there - different machine to where I'm sitting). I've RTFMd, rebuilt, reloaded and reconfigured. I've threatened the machine with defenestration. My workmates are avoiding me as I get more and more annoyed. As much as it pains me I think I need a 'Jack and Jill meet the keyboard' style walkthrough on building a smp initrd kernel to boot with a root fs on RAID5 hardware.
