Comment 52 for bug 120375

The fix suggested Ken on 2007-12-29 worked fine for me on 7.10 on a Dell PE840, but the selfsame patch doesn't work now I've upgraded to 8.04 (yes, I have re-applied the patch!). Boot drops through to Busybox after (my reduced) 10 sec timeout, but the good news is that I can continue booting with 'mdadm --assemble --scan' and then Ctrl+D. So I suppose that the test line is not working as expected, on my machine at least. Since this appears to be an initramfs-tools thing I've taken the liberty of adding that to the 'affects' in the hope that someone in the development team can get around to fixing this. Unfortunately it seems to be up to the project manager to say whether this bug is 'important' . That possibly depends on whether he is running a RAID array and has had a drive fail ;-)
