It turns out that in the installation process for the new kernel image that I created. A previous (and failed) attempt to compile a kernel for this machine was installed as LinuxOLD (the one that's supposed to work) alongside my new one. The result was that I had two kernels that didn't work available to me. The proper driver wasn't installed in the kernel so that's why it couldn't see the RAID array. The solution was to boot the custom Debian install CD with the correct drivers on it. I typed the following at the install cd prompt # rescue root=/dev/sda3 That install CD then booted up the system and all daemons started up properly. I fixed /etc/lilo.conf and all is well. Whew!
