Hello,

I am trying to mount an existing windows partition with knoppix. The purpose is to make a dump of the windows installation.
There is an Intel 82801 SATA RAID Controller (rev 05) in the system. There are 4 HDs. 3 are arranged as an RAID5 and one is spare. I use knoppix 6.7.1 CD (german).

dmraid -b shows all 4 HDs.
When I try "dmraid -ay" I get 3 errors:
Code:
ERROR: spare set "isw_diffiigjfb_/dev/sdd" cannot be activated
ERROR: no mapping possible for RAID set isw_diffiigjfb_/dev/sdd
ERROR: device-mapper target type "raid45" is not in the kernel
RAID set "isw_gcdfjaffh_Volume0" was not activated
The first two belong to the spare device as sdd is the spare device (compared serial numbers in BIOS config and dmraid -b). The third one produces a lot of google-hits and seems to be a well known version/naming issue between dmraid a kernel. But I did not get any Information on how to fix/ work around it.
There is a kernel module called raid456.ko and it is loaded according to lsmod.
