Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.92f Severity: important I had to try some RAID tests in d-i and I only had a USB stick for testing, so this scenario is not so likely, but I assume the same bug would happen with a USB disk, making it more likely.
Anyway, I made a RAID1 on top of a USB stick. initramfs-tools fails to boot: the RAID is initalized much earlier than the USB stick. What is strange that sd_mod was not loaded at all at the point it drops you into a shell.
