As since yesterday's update I cannot boot my system properly (seemed to be a mdadm issue). I have removed mdadm package (I'm also using directly lvm on non-md devices).
However, this seems to have wipeout my /boot! The grub directory is not there anymore :-(
I'm trying to recover my system before I reboot... But I would suggest to people not to remove the mdadm package.

PS: I also took the opportunity of removing mdadm to remove previous linux kernel (2.6.20-12), perhaps this operation is the faulty one... But I have done removable of previous kernel release before that without a glitch. So I suspect mdadm being responsible for this, and I just want to warn any one trying to do so. Back-up your /boot ;-)
