[Bug 463112] [NEW] dmraid does not read NVraid enable/disable status in bios

[Benjamin Zarzycki]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: dmraid

ISSUE:
dmraid simply maps whatever raid info is stored in NVraid without respect to the bios setting for NVraid to be enabled/disabled.

SEVERITY:
The issue can prevent start-up.

BACKGROUND:
I was running 9.04 and upgraded to 9.10rc.  When I rebooted, it got stuck after grub loaded the kernel image.  After much troubleshooting, I discovered the kernel image had inappropriately discovered my old raid setup and mapped it despite the fact that I had NVraid disabled in the bios.  Mapping the old raid prevented it from seeing my root partition, thus preventing start-up.
