Here is the .config of my new kernel:

Below is my new module.conf file:

alias eth0 tg3
alias eth1 tg3
alias eth2 e1000
alias eth3 e1000
alias usb-controller usb-ohci

Here is some of my modprobe.conf:
alias irda-dongle-5 litelink
alias irda-dongle-6 airport
alias md-personality-3 raid1
alias md-personality-4 raid5
alias md-personality-7 multipath

What would be the problem? Im stuck wit this problem. Even at Google i cant see any solutions?

Help me

Hi Mcalizo,

I've the same problem than you.
i got the same error message when running mkinitrd (no module raid0 found for kernel 2.6.9).

i've posted a new thread in redhat category, the title is : mkinitrd failed with message "no module raid0 found for kernel 2.6.9"

I got some answer there asking me to install modutils and compile the kernel with all the raid options. I havn't done any of that yet (just read this answer few minutes ago).

i've also found a thread on another forum with same kind of problem:
http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/2870

I've tried to apply the patch provided but it gave me an error...

Hope someone can help us.

I have just found out that the cause of the error, it is like this during build insmod is looking for raid0.o, but when i take a look at my /lib/modules/2.6.x/kernel/drivers/md/ i found out that the compiled module is raid0.ko. So i just

cp raid0.ko raid0.o

And then try to

make bzImage
make module
make module_install
make install

make sure also that your .config looks like this:

#
# Multi-device support (RAID and LVM)
#
CONFIG_MD=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD=y
CONFIG_MD_LINEAR=m
CONFIG_MD_RAID0=m
CONFIG_MD_RAID1=m
# CONFIG_MD_RAID10 is not set
CONFIG_MD_RAID5=m
# CONFIG_MD_RAID6 is not set
#CONFIG_MD_MULTIPATH is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM is not set
