Comment 22 for bug 220493

hello again, i' am back,
thanks to Stefan Bader, thanks to Crimson_Fox.

i found a way how to aktivate and see my "raid 5 array":
open terminal
copy and past:
sudo su
echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy universe" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update; apt-get install dmraid
cd /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/ubuntu/md
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14473751/dm-raid45.ko
dmraid -ay

than that happens:

"ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo su
root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy universe" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# apt-get update; apt-get install dmraid

than i copy and past again:
 wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14473751/dm-raid45.ko

than that happens:

than i install "dm-raid45.ko":

root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# insmod dm-raid45.ko
root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# dmraid -s
*** Group superset isw_bibdfifgb
