Hello! I'm experiencing almost exactly the same problem as Alan and Patrick with my RAID controller (Promise Fasttrak TX2300). In Ubuntu 7.10, this worked fine, however since the upgrade to Ubuntu 8.04 (2.6.24-16 kernel), the "dmraid" is not able to find the "/dev/mapper/pdc_*" devices. As mentioned, the symptoms are practically the same as the ones from Alan and Patrick:
