I think I may be having the same (or a related) problem. I'm trying to
convert a Jaunty server (2.6.28-11-server) to use RAID 1 using mdadm. I
believe mdadm is working because I have several RAID partitions which
get mounted out of /etc/fstab after the system has successfully booted.
But when I tried to convert my root to a RAID partition, I got boot
errors and a busybox shell.
I tried putting /boot in a regular partition, and / and /var in two
separate RAID partitions, and the system started to boot, but then it
couldn't mount / or /var, and I got some errors about stuff in / being
missing, and then a busybox prompt.
In case it might help, I went into fdisk and marked each RAID partition
with type FD ("Linux raid autodetect"), but this didn't help.
Is there something else I need to do in order for my RAID root to be
mounted early enough in the boot process?
