Are you sure that the RAID devices are stopped when you're running this
command? When all else fails, grab a boot floppy, and get a kernel without
RAID support compiled in, and run fdisk while running from the non-RAID
capable floppy. Changing the partition type from fd to something else
should prevent those disks from getting included in any RAID autostart.
