Unable to boot Ubuntu 8.10 w/ RAID 1

I am having the same issue at the moment. Running an apt-get upgrade to see if any of the updated modules takes care of this issue despite the fact that a number of RAID related modules have been updated.

similar problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dmraid/+bug/367553

similar https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/158918
and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dmraid/+bug/407901

Are you still having this issue?

I switched back to 8.04 and setup sw raid instead. Don't have access to that server anymore for testing. Sorry.
