RAID not recognized in Natty

[Kyle]

Binary package hint: dmraid

After doing an upgrade to Natty the previously configured RAID system is not recognized. At bootup I have to choose S for skip, otherwise the system stalls.

Added: dmraid.pdc.tgz

I have 1.0.0.rc16-4.1ubuntu3 installed.

I realize now this is very similar to bug #770600.

The output from: sudo dmraid -s shows:

*** Set
name : pdc_gjgbcdghd
size : 6248092288
stride : 128
type : mirror
status : ok
subsets: 0
devs : 2
spares : 0

it is a 2 disc array. When I write sudo dmraid -n I get:

Can you post the output of the following commands:

sudo dmraid -ay -dddd -vvvv
sudo fdisk -lu
