I have this problem with my feisty.

I have no md array and the initramfs hook complains about that.

Booting does not work, initramdik created by yaird are OK.

I think a test should be done to see if md are used, and it should honor the /etc/default/mdadm configuration file:
INITRDSTART='none' should by pass the problem.

Here is a verbose output of update-initramfs:
