Hi  to all,
Mark and Tom H, I have removed all raid partitions on this computer and 
reinstalled Kubuntu 10.10 (ALT) on a single drive. there are no raid 
partitions on the other 2 drives and they are not mounted.
The result is very obvious.  The system does not lose the mouse/keyboard at 
all even if they are missing for 30 mins. With raid drives, the system lost 
the moues/keyboard almost immediately. So what does one think the problem may 
be.
I have tried 32 bit Kubuntu 10.10 (ALT) on the same raid system and I get the 
same failure.
It is the same for Fedora 14. 64 bit and 32 bit.
It is also the same for Mandriva 2010.1 64  bit.

If I run PCLinuxOS 2010.10 on this system raid works fine and there is no loss 
of mouse/keyboard. But that is a 32 bit system.
I  have run testdisk and memtest 4.0 on the system and they can find no errors.
So why cannot I run raid ????
