Jeff, I don't suppose you could take a digital photograph of your screen at the point where mdadm aborts and drops you to a shell?

I think what's happening here is that the scripts/local-top/mdadm or mdrun script is causing the initramfs to abort, when the failure should be ignored since udev will run mdadm again later.

At the shell it drops you to, could you run "ps ax > /dev/ps.log 2>&1" and when you've booted (use any of your usual tricks to recover from there) attach that log to this bug.

Another check; if it drops you to the shell there, wait for a few seconds then look for /dev/hd* and /dev/sd* ... do they appear?

Can you also attach your /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf

Thanks
