As the readme says, "For discussions, questions, patches, enhancement
requests etc., please subscribe and mail to <ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx>.".
Search that list's archive for hints.

Make /boot a single partition outside the LVM. Please see

this very easily. First create a single /boot partition. From the rest
of the disks you can create RAID arrays and upon that LVMs.
