Dmraid Problems hpt37x

[mailnode at gmx.net]

Hi,

I use 2.6.10 kernel from www.kernel.org with dmraid 1.0.0-rc5f

I dont know if it has anything to do with the kernel version, since this is
the first time I try to use dmraid.

If I try to activate the raid, dmraid tells me that the raid is broken. The
Bios does not tell me that it is broken, and with my 2.4 kernel and ataraid
for hpt37x it wirks fine, without error message.

I have already sent the results of "dmraid -rD" to Mauelshagen at RedHat.com

All I want to know is where the problem is. dmraid bug or kernel bug or just
stupid noob user :)

thanks
