I think I have solved this one now, but cant test till the weekend. After further scrutiny of the difference between feisty and gutsy initrd's, I now see that gutsy simply copies your /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf into the initramfs. Feisty appears to generate a correct /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf with UUID's in the initramfs.
I suspect that adding the appropriate lines for your array into /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf and regenerating the initramfs will allow the system to find the array and boot up. I wont be able to test this till the weekend, but it looks like it should solve the problem. Take a look at the bugs listed under the mdadm package. I think that the above dialogue would have been more at home there.... -- gutsy md module not present in ramdisk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133765 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
