Thank you very much!
I was sure that I would need to patch kernel sources and compile them to get my raid5 working.
Raid5 kernel target for dmraid is still in experimental development, so I thought that compiled modules was unavailable. Thank you.

To get raid5 working on my Intel ICH9R (dmraid already installed and working for raid0):
I have enabled hardy-updates and hardy-proposed updates on my package manager.
I have installed latest kernel image and related packages (linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic, linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-generic, etc).
apt-get install initramfs-tools
echo "dm-raid45" >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
update-initramfs -u
WORKING!!

Two questions:
I suppose that initramfs load dm-raid45 module at boot so can my system boot from a raid5 volume?
Will Ubuntu 8.04.1 release (July 2008) be capable of install in a raid5 volume from the live-cd installer?

Regards.
