Ok, to follow on from above. I can confirm I definatly had this problem, and everything was a above (kernel version, ubunutu 8.10, dmraid version etc etc...), however, after a reboot of the system this problem disappeared.
If anyone out there cares I'll list the procedure I followed so if there is a problem it can be fixed or (as I suspect) rather than fixing what seems to be a strange (and probably user generated) issue anyone else finding this can do what I have done.. ok...... 1) Installed Ubunutu 2) Found howto get Linux to to reconise Intel ICH8R fakeRAID 5 array. I resent the fake bit btw, I'm very happy with my raid 5 array, looks natural to me ;) 3) Installed dmraid via sudo apt-get install dmraid 4) dmraid -ay {failed} 5) reboot 6) dmraid -ay {failed} 7) re-installed dmraid and associated packages via synaptic 8) dmraid -ay {failed} 9) Trolled the interent for a few hours looking for issue 10) reboot 11) dmraid -ay {success!} Pretty sure I didn't do anything wrong, and definatly got that error after installing dmraid via apt-get.
