Comment 11 for bug 97655

Hi Thomas,
   I think that I'm in the same boat as Chad, and haven't been able to get dmraid working with my Raid5 array. When I run `dmraid -ay` I get the following error:

         ERROR: device-mapper target type "raid45" not in kernel

   The step-by-step instructions you gave above were very helpful, and I was able to successfully compile a patched kernel. Unfortunately, I'm still getting the above error with the patched kernel. Also, dmraid causes my computer to hang when it boots, produces an error, and then boot continues normally ( Sorry, I don't have the boot error text ). I'm running the amd64 version of feisty: could this be part of the problem?

   I'm not sure if this is helpful, but here is the output of `dmraid -r`:

         /dev/sda: sil, "sil_ahadeadefbab", raid5_ls, ok, 586070830 sectors, data@ 0
         /dev/sdb: sil, "sil_ahadeadefbab", raid5_ls, ok, 586070830 sectors, data@ 0
         /dev/sdc: sil, "sil_ahadeadefbab", raid5_ls, ok, 586070830 sectors, data@ 0

   Do you have any suggestions on what I could try next?
