Comment 66 for bug 97655

I'm willing to invest some time/effort here but am new to ubuntu/deb have been away from kernel hacking for a while so mileage may vary.

I have pulled down the Hardy Alpha 5 and applied the patch to build dm-raid4-5.ko . I'm getting some weirdness from dmraid, but assuming I get that ironed out is there a way I can move this forward?
- Can I create a version of the patch with no conflicts and submit that for inclusion? Hard to call myself the author for dropping 5 lines but hey...
- Would this require a new bug against linux-source-2.6.24?
- In regard to a LiveCD I have some concern that GRUB might have issues but I could plug away at that next unless it's a fool's errand.
