Kubuntu on ICH9R RAID Problem

[Randy Broman]

I'm attempting to install Kubuntu 7.10 to be dual booted on an existing 
Windows
Ultimate system. The system has Intel ICH9R RAID, with a single RAID0 
striped
volume, and two partitions, Windows/NTFS and unformatted. I booted from the
Kubuntu install disk and installed dmraid, but dmraid won't successfully
activate the RAID volume(s) - see various outputs below.

Appreciate ideas on how to fix ....

$ sudo dmraid -ay
ERROR: isw device for volume "Volume0" broken on /dev/sdb in RAID set 
"isw_dhbacihbbf_Volume0"
ERROR: isw: wrong # of devices in RAID set "isw_dhbacihbbf_Volume0" 
[1/2] on /dev/sdb

$ sudo dmraid -r
/dev/sdb: isw, "isw_dhbacihbbf", GROUP, ok, 488397166 sectors, data@ 0

$ sudo dmraid -ay -vvvv -dddd
