I've been holding off on switching to a 2.6 kernel because of this software RAID issue.

I've got Gentoo installed on a normal disk with 4 partitions, that's all working fine. Then I've got a RAID0 array of 2 discs that I use for a fileserver. In 2.4 I mount them from /dev/ataraid/disc0/part1, but after compiling a 2.6 kernel with RAID support built-in, that path isn't available. What do I need to do to get this working in 2.6? Preferably in a non-destructive manor.

Try the Software Guide just exclude the formatting parts. A backup beforehand to be safe.

2.4 kernels had in-kernel support for BIOS RAID controllers. With 2.6 kernels, this support was moved to userspace. Search for dmraid, and you should find what you are looking for.
