Software Raid and Kernel Panic (from wiki page) [SOLVED]

Question

I am trying to setup a RAID 5 array using the instructions on the wiki:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … AID_or_LVM
I get through the instructions (have actually done it several times now) and get the following error:
io scheduler deadline registered
io scheduler cfq registered

I setup three partitions on IDE drives
/dev/md0 - root (8 GB / drive)
/dev/md1 - boot (100 MB / drive)
/dev/md2 - swap (1 GB / drive)
I have three drives for the area with three partitions on each:
hda1 - boot
hda2 - swap
hda3 - root
I did skip the LVM step in the wiki pages.

The system is a dual PIII using the arch ISO 7.1 release.
Any thoughts on what is wrong with my setup?  Or something I can try.  I'm game for just about anything in my test environment to try and get it working.
Thanks,

Answer 1

After the basketball games where over tonight I had a thought (and a little research).  The install iso I was using was a pre-release of 0.7.1.  When I downloaded the real mccoy and did a fresh install following the instructions on the wiki, all worked flawlessly!
