Update:
Both machines have the same modules loaded, however on the second
machine (Venus), the SATA modules don't seem to get loaded until mdadm
fails to find the array.
dmesg on the first machine (Mars) shows as follows:

I'm not sure where to go from here; I don't have the knowledge or skill
to hack around this. Can someone point me to how to get the scsi
modules loaded earlier or should I file a bug against the kernel?
