Neither am I. I already installed a couple of servers with full raid1
using various distros (RedHat, Caldera, Debian), now I'm trying
Gentoo and I can not get past the first booting... :-(

Yes, I do have it there...

No custom rules. Did not have time to make them, you now, my system
is not booting at all...

mdstat does not report anything. No /dev/md* exist, so no /dev/md*
is running...
BTW, on gentoo-forum I got answer with link pointing to debian list:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2005/02/msg00253.html
It seems (or at least it is discussed there) that this (udev does not
create /dev/md* at startup) is some kernel-bug! If some of our kernel
developers is watching this list, could he confirm or refuse it?
Can I somehow get rid of udev, when it is causing problems to me?
In the meantime I'm trying to update my system to 2.6.12-r4
(up to now I used 2.6.11-r3 from 2005.0 universal installation cd)...
