Is /boot a partition on top of the md device? If it is, you should make sure to use the --metadata=0.90 when creating the md devices. If it is a separate md device, this should not be necessary. If you run into issues concerning the renaming, you can try to specify the md devices explicitly with the kernel parameter 'raid=noautodetect md=0,/dev/sda1,/dev/sdb1' Regards, Florian Philipp
