Are you applying the patch to 2.4.14 or 2.4.17 (You say .14 above)
Also you suggest that you've compiled .17 in 1) with support for raid. Have
you checked your config after applying that patch that you've still got raid
support selected in your conf file. ie applying the patch hasn't taken you
back to a kernel setup without raid support?
Seems like a daft question, but you've added raid support in 1) but then
taken a new kernel source and patched it without stating that you've then
added raid, ppp and ext3 to the new kernel
