[Voyage-linux] Kernel with RAID Enabled?

[Matt Signorello]

Punky,

Never worked with grub before - was always a lilo guy. But I got it
resolved by setting the default.

That said, the stock debian kernel does have the modules. I am going
to attempt to build my raid 5 array now.

This is my lsmod which is nearly the same as previously posted by another user:
