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:
