I'm seeing the same thing, intermittently. Freshly set up system,
uname -a returns "Linux pcserver2 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Thu Jun 7 20:19:32 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux" mdadm --version returns "mdadm - v2.5.6 - 9 November 2006" With the splash screen turned off, each and every time the system boots I see "mdadm: no devices listed in conf file were found". A couple lines later I will see "trying to resume from /dev/sda3" (which is swap on my system, and not mirrored). At this point it will either boot or fail. I basically did an expert install from the alternate cd, and let the installer set up RAID 1, with /, /home and /var on separate partitions, mirrored. fstab is: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 # /dev/md0 UUID=97be724f-68a6-4d58-a65b-27323cc80c39 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 # /dev/md2 UUID=84027007-13ea-48b0-9815-2a1d8632de30 /home ext3 defaults 0 2 # /dev/md1 UUID=d0bf6dc7-5309-4155-a8f7-19210b5d5831 /var ext3 defaults 0 2 # /dev/sda3 UUID=e9a1b493-440f-4c83-8642-c06f2ce562d8 none swap sw 0 0 # /dev/sdb3 UUID=02a63f99-9514-42a8-93e2-8c75cf234a82 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 mdadm.conf is # mdadm.conf # # Please refer to mdadm.conf(5) for information about this file. # # by default, scan all partitions (/proc/partitions) for MD superblocks. # alternatively, specify devices to scan, using wildcards if desired.
