PDC20378 - Help :(

[Phillip Susi]

Aha!  Ok, now this is making sense.  The real problem is that the kernel 
is not recognizing your two PATA drives at all, therefore, dmraid has no 
drives to detect as a raid.

This isn't really related to dmraid, so I am not sure if this is the 
correct place to discuss it, but if I were you, I'd unplug the sata 
drive and see if you can get the kernel to recognize the pata drives in 
some fashion.
