Hi Jack,
I'm sorry to bother you during holidays.

I encountered a strange problem installing AlmaLinux 9.1 on a RAID1 (MDADM) with the current configuration:

- /boot/efi on md125
- swap on md126
- / on md127

disks are 2 SSD MLC Type.

After the installation, if I reboot the system I get:

"md: md125 stopped" (it is printed many times like in a loop)

alternated with:

"systemd-shutdown[1]: Not all MD devices stopped, 1 left
Stopping MD Devices
Stopping MD /dev/md125 (9:125)"

and the system hangs on this loop until I cut the power.

I encountered this issue on my Workstation with Asus Prime Z490-A / i9-10850k.

I tried with another workstation that runs on Asus Prime Z370-A / i7 8700K, to exclude bad SATA controller and bad cables.

Also on the second workstation the problem is found.

I tried to replicate this using 9.0 ISO. The problem does not occur until I update to 9.1

I tried also with 8.7. No problem here.

I tried also RockyLinux 9.1 and got the same problem but with different messages:

"block device autoconfig is deprecated and will removed"

alternated with:

"blkdev_get_no_open: 270 callbacks suppressed."

To stop the machine I need to cut the power.

I tried also Debian 11.5 without problems.

So seems that the problem is 9.1 related. Actually I can't test the same with RHEL 9.1 but probably the problem will occour also on RHEL 9.1

There is a way to fix this or I should wait an upgrade?

Thank you in advance.
