Hi,
both, the tools and the kernel-patch should be the same version!!!
This was a known problem with this and future versions of the
raid-kernel-code. it has already been fixed with the release from 24.7.1999. To use
this
patch upgrade to 2.0.37. U need the newest patch for the kernel otherwise
the problem doesn't go away.
