raidhotadd not working after reboot?!?

Recently when starting my computer I was notified by the Adaptec SCSI BIOS that my disk ID #4 was not starting up. This disk was failed. This disk is part of the software raid array that I have setup on the machine. When the kernel booted it notified me that it could not see the disk and as a re
