Paul, I had a similar issue with a new system. There it was caused by mdadm trying to start the raid devices before all the drives were identified. Try disabling "Asynchronous SCSI scanning" in the kernel config. (CONFIG_SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC) Or add "scsi_mod.scan=sync" to the kernel commandline to see if it's the same cause. -- Joost -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
