with jaunty kernel 2.6.28-10, the raid is no longer assembled at all.
The array can be created with mdadm --create --assume-clean, as before,
apparently without any problems. this sounds okay if nothing has been
written to the array yet, and since it isn't assembled, this should be
fine. Unless the problem is in shutting down the array, but no segfault
there, so probably not.

No joy with 2.6.28-11, although there are three md raid10 fixes, relating to 
recovery which I hoped might somehow impinge:
from upstream short changelog:
md: avoid races when stopping resync.
  * md/raid10: Don't call bitmap_cond_end_sync when we are doing recovery.
  * md/raid10: Don't skip more than 1 bitmap-chunk at a time during
    recovery.

this seems like a serious bug to me. if you are suffering, please add
your comments; if it is just me and the reporter, please can someone
help me work out why? N.b. a fedora kernel with ubuntu starts the array
correctly, so this is a kernel or mdadm bug.
