I do also for at least 3 of my b180 and it works fine :)

This is typicaly the message from palo < 1.2 (I also encounter this same
message before figuring out that I forget to update palo on my actual root
disk).
So on your non-raid disk install the last palo dpkg (1.2) (I do it without
pb on a woody pre-libc 2.3.0).
[check the version with palo -? | grep version (must be now 1.2)]
relaunch:
# palo -f YourPathToNew/palo.conf -I YourRaidDIsk

It works for me and hope for you too.
