Hello guys!

Today I used the Knoppix 5.1 live CD in which "dmraid" works ok (Alan, thanks for the tip... ;) ). I managed to mount my raid partitions and repair the "grub/menu.lst" file (I have come across this dmraid issue while trying to fix the "menu.lst" file which became broken during the upgrade from Ubuntu 7.10 to Ubuntu 8.04).

Now, here comes an interesting part: as soon as I fixed the "menu.lst" file, I was able to boot my upgraded Ubuntu 8.04 system without a problem! The "dmraid" works ok, even though I'm
using the Ubuntu's "2.6.24-16-generic" kernel (i.e. the same kernel version as is present on the Ubuntu 8.04 live CD).

However, I would still like to figure out why dmraid doesn't work on Ubuntu 8.04 live CD. Now that I have 2 configurations (one working and one not), can you perhaps advise me which printouts/log files to compare to spot the source of the problem? I can of course upload them to this page: you can probably find the anomalies much faster than I. :)
