In 2.2.x we were able to build a kernel with RAID modules and have it autodetect RAID partitions at boot time - so we could use raid root partitions.
In 2.40 the configuration option CONFIG_AUTODETECT_RAID is explicitly disabled unless at least one RAID module is built into the kernel. I presume there is a good reason for this and that it's not just a mistake.
Are there any plans to re-enable this feature? It would be nice to be able to have a single kernel for all our machines without having to have RAID in the kernel when it isn't needed.
