We don't support installation to FakeRAID at all.  If you're trying
that, it won't work, and it never did in the past either.  You can do
some hacks to set it up post-install, but you can't install directly to
a FakeRAID array in dapper.

If you're telling me that the vt8251 driver is completely broken, even
when not running FakeRAID, then this is definitely a bug, you should
file the bug on the linux-source-2.6.15 package in Malone (not complain
to a mailing list), point at the fixed patch if you have it, and we'll
roll it into the next kernel security update (and it will end up on the
dapper point release ISOs when those get done).
