yes initrd-tools needed that workaround,
i'm happy you managed to boot sata with it.
please try to remove it,
initramfs-tools should load sata_promise just fine.
Ok, I've tried that, see below.
However, if anyone ever has a legitimate reason to use "install," they
will suffer a boot failure and they won't be able to figure out why
there has been a failure.

from your previous sent fstab the forth entry is false
could you please set it to linux 83
that could potentially confuse mdrun,
can you retry if fixing that works?
I set it to linux 83, took out all my modifications, and mdrun does
work. After I end up in busybox, I looked at /proc/mdstat, and I saw
that mdrun had created /dev/md/[012].
So mdrun continues to be confused by my configuration.
cat /proc/mdstat would be even cooler.
Of course! Here it is:

Thanks again for your help, and please let me know if you need further
tests by me.
