Binary package hint: dmraid

Using a Promise Fasttrack S-150 TX2 (OEM installed on a Dell PowerEdge 400SC, dmraid does not recognized the raid array - it just says "No RAID disks". Sample output:

Others have experienced this problem as well:

As I understand it, the only way you can get a redundant /boot partition on this Promise controller is by using dmraid, making this bug highly inconvenient.
