<hehe!> 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
