Apologies. This is a bad bug report. It was only due to the inability to replace the older package. I attempted to remove, but it reported a very bad inconsistent state.

I actually managed to get everything working and dmraid of this PPA package fixes the problem for me.

I did the following:
* Edited sources.list to use the standard urls.
* apt-get update
* used "apt-get remove dmraid" > error: package in very bad inconsistent state.
* renamed /etc/init.d/dmraid to /etc/init.d/dmraid.bak
* removed old package.
* edited sources.list. Added the PPA.
* apt-get update
* apt-get install dmraid > no problems installing "Version: 1.0.0.rc14-0ubuntu3~ppa1"
* dmraid -ay > no problems or crashes
* restart -> voila! everything works on 8.04!
