Reinhard, I tried your Ubuntu deb (105-4), and it brought the bug back for me consistently. Then I reverted to debian unstable's version (0.105-4), and now I'm booting consistently correctly again.
This is interesting. Clearly what is causing my bug must be in the Ubuntu packaging? I've already tried gouging out the Ubuntu patches in debian/patches of the Ubuntu package that you gave me (and hacking debian/rules to accommodate) and then repackaging and reinstalling it then, but still no go. This as far as I have time to play around with this tonight, but before I try again in the near future, does anyone have any ideas? -- boot-time race condition initializing md https://launchpad.net/bugs/75681 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
