21 Hey Robert,

23 I recently setup Raid5 and LVM on my new dual opteron server.

25 Can you use a 2.6 kernel? Or do you need to use gs-sources?

27 One thing I found handy was to build a vanilla kernel, to get the system
28 booting and iron out bugs (also good as a backup kernel if something goes
29 wrong) then try and configure the kernel I want once the system is happy.
