Tormod Volden : I'm not a expert, but I think that mdadm is necessary
for linux software raid (not fakeRaids). I would not be able to confirm
you if ubuntu can be installed on fakeRaids controller from liveCD at
the moment, but it is not possible at the time with linux software raid.
The alternate install CD offer the creation of software RAID devices,
and it install mdadm on target system. mdadm seems to be necessary as it
monitor raid and assemble them based on config files. I looked quickly
at dmraid and it didn't seem to support linux software raid, so I guess
that both mdadm and dmraid are necessary.

Also, as said earlier, if mdadm was configured to auto detect and
assemble raid arrays in his initramfs hook script (mdadm --assemble
--scan), my fix would not be necessary. If this solution makes sense,
this would be by far more flexible than my bugfix, however there might
be reasons why mdadm is not already configured in that way, needs to be
confirmed.
