Follow the instructions in THIS bug:

I used that to boot up Ubuntu LiveCD and installed Gentoo :) Anyway, the
key part is this (for amd64, for x86, it's there too).
sudo su
echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy universe" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update; apt-get install dmraid
cd /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/ubuntu/md
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14522732/dm-raid45.ko-amd64
mv dm-raid45.ko-amd64 dm-raid45.ko
Edit /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/modules.dep and add
/lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/ubuntu/md/dm-raid45.ko: /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/drivers/md/dm-mod.ko
dmraid -ay
Then you can mount your raid5 volumes just fine.
Again, this is partially due to the fact that the patches here expect
dm-raid4-5.ko, not dm-raid45.ko (even though Thomas Backlund on this list
said that he's never had this issue - so not sure why this isn't being
addressed).

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly
what the Universe is for and why it is here,it will instantly disappear
and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
