Yes well mdadm --detail /dev/md5 tells me that this hard drive

mkinitrd and that sure is not something to look for :-(
Getting just a simple raid-1 running and doing so right is a pain.
There are 2 simple approaches:
1) Build the raid during the install. Unfortunately you can't do the
'missing' trick, so you need to be able to overwrite both drives at
that point.
2) Don't worry about the system portion that you can re-install. Add
2 drives mounted as your /home and you don't need to change the boot
setup.
Les your fix is to re-install f7 as the first best fix or 2. buy two
more new hard drives. Both are very time consuming and the new hard
drive sounds best.
The real good paper I got from Jeffrey is 7 pages long and it does
cover the whole thing. But I do not know the module name for the RAID-1
and that is critical because the kernel right now does not load that
module. I know how to make it load but you do need the name :-)
