RAID autodetect?

[Drew Van Zandt]

Hi all...
   I've googled for this to no avail (perhaps I chose the worng keywords...)
I have a system with a software RAID array, and I'm trying to have the
kernel autodetect during boot.  RAID is compiled into the kernel (not
as a module) and the partitions are all marked fd (RAID
autodetect....) I see the autodetect running VERY early in the boot
process... but it finds nothing!  I can later start the RAID just fine
with mdadm, but I can't figure out what I'm missing in getting it to
autodetect.

Debian unstable 2.4.16 kernel.  Rebuilt system anew today, except the
RAID was from a previous incarnation (before the MB caught Decaying
Peripheral Disease.)
