Thank for your answer, yeah i should have gave this report maybe a higher priority.

We updated this server at least to Edubuntu 7.10. I could not exactly say if above scenario is gone after update cause the server is in production. I could/will do a test maybe on weekend in week 50.
But i asume that our raid problem is still "alive"

At boot time of the server (it is not always running) we sometimes have degraded SW-Raid-Arrays.
After update to 7.10 it is better, but by ~10 Boots we get ~2 degraded array(s).
The harddisks are 100% ok, i asume this may be a timing problem on boot.
The degrated /deb/md Device changes randomly an also the /dev/sdXY device in the array.
Tested with rootdelay parameter, also with some sleeps in initrd-Skripts.

It's a little annoying to always do a: mdadm /dev/mdX -a /dev/sdXY, watch mdstat output an wait for the next false alarm ;-)
