Hello, my machine with root on raid won't boot since 3.0-3.1 and also still not with 3.0.3-1. I manually choose my older 2.6.29 kernel in grub now as a workaround.
I tried re-generating the initrd for 2.6.30-2 to make sure it is using the new mdadm/udev but this didn't help. The initrd can be downloaded from http://damad.be/joost/initrd.img-2.6.30-2- amd64 In attachment the output from the bug script for mdadm. If you need any other info just let me know. Thanks, Joost Damad
