SubjectRe: Raid 1/upgrade to 2.2.16
One thing is that Redhat patches their kernels so the stock kernels
willnot work with the tools that redhat ships.

another problem appears to be the fact that your new kernel is attempting
to load the modules created for the old kernel.

I can't tell you the redhat way of doing a kernel upgrade (things like
this are one of the resons I don't use redhat) but if you are useing the
stock kernel you will need to first apply the raid-0.9x patches (I don't
have the location handy, it is in the recent archive if they are available
somewhere) and for the modules issue, when you compile a new kernel you
will need to do a 'make modules' and 'make modules_install' unless you
configure the kernel include everything you need for your server and not
use modules.
