Package: mdadm Version: 1.8.1-1
This seems related to Bug#286118, as the same happens to me after upgrading mdadm from 1.7.0-2:
I run two Serverblades:
Dual P III 1 GHz
2 GB RAM
RAID Controller: Promise Technology, Inc. PDC20270 (FastTrak100 LP/TX2/TX4) (rev 02)
attached 2 5400 RPM 40 GB HDs
I install Sarge with the latest Debian installer (rc2) with the install kernel 2.6.8-1-386. The Promise RAID controller is crap, no drivers for Kernel 2.6 are availble, and it is no real HW-RAID, so i need to configure software RAID 1 for mirroring the 2 disks during install.
Then I want to boot self-compiled kernels (for SMP and with NFS-ACL patches, with the md modules compiled in, so I don't need initrd no longer).
Strange enough with my own compiled kernels, the disk nodes changed from hde to hda and from hdg to hdc, but md wouldn't complain when booting. I saw other reports of this behavior with this RAID controller.
This was no problem until I updated mdadm from 1.7.0-2 to 1.8.1-1. Then I was no longer able to boot the Debian Packaged Kernels. There were several types of errors:
EXT3-fs: unable to read superblock raid personality 3 not loaded
So I had to reinstall and set the mdadm selection to 'hold'.
Thanks for your attention Paul
