Bug Description
I've just installed a HP Microserver (N40L) with the latest installer from precise-
After the install, I have the exact same problem, I'm always dropped into the busybox initramfs shell, write "dmraid -ay" to activate the raid, and "exit", and boot continues as normal.
I've solved my problem by adding the line "[ -x /sbin/dmraid ] && /sbin/dmraid -ay" to the end of the /usr/share/
But I'm guessing there's a more sophisticated procedure that's not kicking in on my system. What information can I start providing to help get this fixed? (If there's a ubuntu developer interested, I can provide access directly to the box via the ilo device.)
(initramfs) blkid
(initramfs) blkid -p /dev/sd[a-d]
/dev/sda: TYPE="promise_
/dev/sdb: TYPE="promise_
/dev/sdc: TYPE="promise_
/dev/sdd: TYPE="promise_
Without any parameters blkid doesn't return anything.
(initramfs) dmraid -ay

I'm filing it under linux-lts-quantal, since it's the highest level package (I think) that is affected by the underlying problem. And I'm told it's not related to https:/
