I think I may have found it. Attempting to boot from RAID, /proc/ide/ide0/hda/driver is "ide-default version 0.9.newide" whereas booting successfully via non-RAID, /proc/ide/ide0/hda/driver is "ide- disk version 1.18".
Googling "ide-default ide-disk" reveals some bugs/race conditions that were submitted as a patch back in 2006, but I don't know if the patch was accepted or perhaps something got broken again. Hopefully this will be enough to fix it. Let me know if there is anything else I can provide. -- Feisty beta1 raid is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/96511 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
