md generally does have to be compiled in...the raid personality modules
(raid1, raid5, etc.) can be compiled as modules... more below...

Were they talking about _md_ needing to be compiled in? Because it has
to be compiled into the kernel if you want to use persistent superblocks
and/or use it for your root partition. I have patches against 2.4 and
2.5 to fix this md problem, BTW, if anyone wants them...I posted the 2.5
one a while back...
