Did all that, kernel didn't see the partition.

This didn't work, because /dev/md0p1 doesn't exists.

It could be.

My linux is: Linux version 2.4.20 (root@localhost) (gcc version 3.2.2)
kernel config related to raid:
# # Multi-device support (RAID and LVM) # CONFIG_MD=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD=m CONFIG_MD_LINEAR=m CONFIG_MD_RAID0=m CONFIG_MD_RAID1=m CONFIG_MD_RAID5=m CONFIG_MD_MULTIPATH=m # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LVM is not set
My raidtab is: raiddev /dev/md0 raid-level 5 nr-raid-disks 3 nr-spare-disks 0 persistent-superblock 1 chunk-size 32 parity-algorithm left-symmetric
device /dev/hdc raid-disk 0 device /dev/hde raid-disk 1 device /dev/hdg raid-disk 2
any idea?
