I had very similar problems (bug 106238). These were "cured" when I force booted with "init=/bin/sh" and then ran "/sbin/init" from the bash prompt. After Gnome came up, I then did apt-get update/upgrade, and the installation of the newest initramfs-tools update fixed my RAID boot issues. But I

I am seeing this problem as well... To continue the boot, I mount -t ext3 /dev/md0 /root and hit CTL-D, then the system boots. I installed the alternate beta, and installed all of the updates. The mdadm update ran a update-initramfs command to update the initrd.img files, but still fails the same

I think I may have found it. Attempting to boot from RAID, /proc/ide/ide0/hda/driver is "ide-default version 0.9.newide" whereas booting successfully via non-RAID, /proc/ide/ide0/hda/driver is "ide- disk version 1.18". Googling "ide-default ide-disk" reveals some bugs/race conditions that were su

I did, but still the same thing, I think because break=mount doesn't come into play until later in initrd. FWIW, I reinstalled the first disk with yesterdays daily build, and I still get the same thing (namely when I boot off RAID, /dev/hda* and /dev/hdc* don't show up at all in /proc/partitions w
