Error in creating RAID 1 mirrors

[Wong Onn Chee]

Hi everyone,

I encountered this error while running "dmraid -v -ay"

However, when I boot into a 2.4 kernel with ataraid enabled, the mirrored partitions can be mounted with no problems.
I am using a Promise FastTrak PDC20265 ATA RAID onboard controller.

Can anyone advise me on this?
Many thanks.
