Your Linux \'md\' support (as in, software RAID) is having problems. It\'s probably one of:
1. \'md\' support is present but no device files exist.
Check: `cat /proc/mdstat`. If it exists, this is the problem.
Fix: Try kicking udev, running /dev/MAKEDEV, or something.

2. \'md\' support was enabled, but was built as a module that isn\'t loaded.
Check: `cat /proc/mdstat` will return \"no such file or directory\" if md isn\'t loaded. If it gives any other response, this isn\'t the problem.
Fix: `modprobe md`.

3. No \'md\' support is present for the running kernel.
Check: I don\'t want to explain it.
Fix: install a different kernel.
