And while I have a initramfs external to 3.2.1 a kernel working on a
RAID6 / system, my first attempt at building the initramfs into
gentoo-sources-3.6.11 as per Neil's pointers resulted in the RAID6
kicking one drive and not booting, so there is pain out there to be
had. ;-) I'll post more in my thread about how I fix it and move
forward later.

Again, I don't really care about the pain - in a sick sense I sort of
like it (more if it wore high heels...) - but I'm gonna learn this
initramfs stuff and make it work because I suspect it's at least a
good thing to know.

It ain't only you Dale. I have (!)fun(!) with this stuff too... ;-)

Cheers,
Mark
