dmraid45 not in kernel

Hi Peter,

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Care to test the most recent Hardy Heron 8.04 release - http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download . Please let us know your results. Thanks in advance.

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

We are closing this bug report because it lacks the information we need to investigate the problem, as described in the previous comments. Please reopen it if you can give us the missing information, and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future. To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New". Thanks again!

I still appear to be having this problem;

$ dmraid -V
dmraid version: 1.0.0.rc14 (2006.11.08) shared
dmraid library version: 1.0.0.rc14 (2006.11.08)

$ uname -r
2.6.27-7-generic

$ dmraid -a y
ERROR: device-mapper target type "raid45" not in kernel

I am VERY new to linux but I'm pretty sure this is the same issue and I have not missed something/done something wrong. Forgive me if I have. Thanks!

Ok, to follow on from above.

I can confirm I definatly had this problem, and everything was a above (kernel version, ubunutu 8.10, dmraid version etc etc...), however, after a reboot of the system this problem disappeared.

If anyone out there cares I'll list the procedure I followed so if there is a problem it can be fixed or (as I suspect) rather than fixing what seems to be a strange (and probably user generated) issue anyone else finding this can do what I have done.. ok......

1) Installed Ubunutu
2) Found howto get Linux to to reconise Intel ICH8R fakeRAID 5 array. I resent the fake bit btw, I'm very happy with my raid 5 array, looks natural to me ;)
3) Installed dmraid via sudo apt-get install dmraid
4) dmraid -ay {failed}
5) reboot
6) dmraid -ay {failed}
7) re-installed dmraid and associated packages via synaptic
8) dmraid -ay {failed}
9) Trolled the interent for a few hours looking for issue
10) reboot
11) dmraid -ay {success!}

Pretty sure I didn't do anything wrong, and definatly got that error after installing dmraid via apt-get. But there you go.....
