[linux-lvm] Misbehavior LVM - RAID

I've set up a server with a software-Raid 5 under linux. (6x80GB IDE). Raid5
(autodetect) works without any problems ... - but when i want to put the
raid into a pv the problems begin .... - everything works - creating a pv,
vg, lv but when i try to shutdown - the system stops (HARD FREEZE) when the
drives are unmounted .... - sometimes they can be unmounted - but then the
system freezes at the halt/reboot - command at the end of the halt-script
...

Are there any interactions between raid autodetect and lvm known???

Base Distro is: SuSE 7.1 and SuSE 7.2 on intel ...
Kernel from suse or original - linus-release ones - tested: 2.4.6-pre3,
2.4.6-pre5/6, 2.4.7-pre3, 2.4.7-pre6 - tested with the version 0.9.7_beta2
and patched with 0.9.7_beta7

Both show the same behaviour ....

Please help!!
