I still have this or a closely related issue with the latest initramfs and 2.6.20-5.
If I set break=mount, the initramfs prompt appears well before the HDD are detected. If I wait until disks are detected and run scripts/local-top/mdadm, the raids are created, but the system hangs waiting for root device (/dev/mapper/vg00-root). If I set the boot device to /dev/evms/lvm2/vg00/root, and do the "wait for disk detection", scripts/local-top/mdadm (or even just exit the initramfs shell) trick, then the system boots (first time for a month). There are still timing / probing issues here; the latest initramfs does not fix it. -- [Feisty] Fail to boot (with initramfs-tools_0.85dubuntu5) https://launchpad.net/bugs/76785 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
