After 24 hours of HOWTO'ing and some helpful people here on this list, I've been able to setup Software RAID. Feeling real happy about all this, I decided to install Gentoo 1.4r1 on my scsi's. 

After booting from the 1.2 install cd (i have APIC errors w/ the 1.4 boot cd), I modprobed my stuff and made /etc/raidtab. Then i did mkraid /dev/md0 and got this error:

cannot determine md version: No such file or directory 

Then i  tried 'cat /proc/mdstat' but it's not there either. Then from dmesg it became apparent that the md driver wasn't loaded.

Is there a way to acomplish what I'm trying to do without building 1.4r1 on my ide and then copying it over to the scsi's?

Thank you :)
