Hi, 
since i didn't have changed the source code of dmraid i think it is an 
official change, i guess it follows the kernel name scheme here.

I try to add some more dmraid specific stuff to archboot setup routine.
Reading through this wiki:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installing_with_Fake-RAID

- Is it really enough to call dmraid -ay after you partitioned your raidset?
  Isn't this updated automatically?

- There are some mentions that you need to dmsetup remove_all before, which I
  think is not correct.

- Installing grub do i need this C H S hack? 
  Is grub failing if i just install it on (hd0)?

- How about lilo? Is lilo working without any modification?

Sorry for asking so many questions, but without the hardware some things are 
really difficult to guess.
Thanks for your help on this.
greetings
