Upgraded edgy to feisty, device-mapper is dieing on raid0 arrays

Bug #110023 reported by netslayer on 2007-04-25

Bug Description

On boot the kernels device mapper contiously floods output:

[35923.922369] device-mapper: table: 254:5: striped: Couldn't parse stripe destination
[35923.922420] device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
[35924.034654] device-mapper: table: 254:5: striped: Couldn't parse stripe destination
[35924.034704] device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

The root drive is correctly mapped:
/dev/mapper/hda3 30715280 7114904 23600376 24% /

but both of my raid 0 arrays (2 disks each) are not working anymore:
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 0 2007-04-25 00:59 /dev/md0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 255 2007-04-25 00:59 /dev/md255

The mdstat shows one is online
chris@:~$ cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid0]
md0 : active raid0 hdc[0] sdc[1]
586114560 blocks 64k chunks

unused devices: <none>

but it wont mount with my original fstab entry of /dev/md0 and complains of wrong fs type

This output seems wrong as to state there are two arrays on the same device?
chris@:~$ sudo vim /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf

chris@:-$ sudo fdisk -l (snippet)
Disk /dev/md0: 600.1 GB, 600181309440 bytes
2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 146528640 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes

Disk /dev/md0 doesn't contain a valid partition table

This is a result of an upgrade from a working edgy installation, which was upgraded previously from an original dapper install. The previous kernel was 2.6.17-11, and now I'm using 2.6.20-15. I tried booting the 17 kernel and it soft panicked on the device mapper. There was a patch added to this code (I googled the above error message) that traps this error in the recent kernel so something happened to my arrays during the upgrade. Any ideas?
