Re: Perhaps this has been answered before...

So where can I get the appropriate kernel patches for 2.4 and will I
have to update raidtools? 

Thanks,

    Only if you don't care what happens when a disk crashes. With RAID-1, 
    you'll be able to survive, with RAID-0 your system will crash, when it 
    can't access the swap partition.

    Me neither. Swap on RAID-1 works fine for me (though on 2.4).
