Bug Description
Booting from RAID is often broken after upgrades or fresh installations of Ubuntu.
initramfs is not activating RAID devices.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Upgrade or Install Ubuntu on a RAID
2. Reboot
3. Observe failure to find root drive and drop to busybox
To work around this, when given the busybox prompt enter:
dmraid -ay
Verify that all of your raid devices are initialized, then enter:
exit
Booting should then continue.
See comment #2 for a persistent (rebootable) workaround.
