Here same problem 3 years after releasing new version of Ubuntu. Today 
upgrading from 10.04 LTS to 12.04. Apart broken grub2 update, which I already 
worked around - system does not boot any more.  System configuration:   / at 
REVO Drive PCIe SSD, visible as fake raid (2x 115 GB) sdb & sdc, x86_64. Before 
upgrade in 10.04 it was recognised during boot as /dev/mapper/sil_biajabcecafc 
device, and root filesystem was mounted on it. 
Unfortunately after update to 12.04 LTS , and fixing broken grub2 "grub_xputs" 
failure from pendrive my system is still unusable, probably due to 
invalid/broken initrd/udevd:    
ALERT /dev/disk/by-uuid/3a11ac88-b86a-4500-a94a-737adf8b989e does not exist. 
Dropping to a shell!
And your hints are not very helpful, because my new initrd upgraded by fresh 
ubuntu installation contains only dmsetup and mdadm binaries. I would add 
dmraid happily to initrd if my first boot was successful! 

So problem #1 - how to create manually required device 
/dev/mapper/sil_biajabcecafc  from initrd
Problem #2 - how to update broken installation 12.04 so it would have proper 
fakeraid autodetection in initrd
Problem #3 - how to inform people willing to install/update to 12.04 that they 
will have serious problems?
