This bug has bugged me for a while now. It started in 10.10 and is still there in 11.04.

Fresh install of Natty, 11.04 AMD64. All updates performed. -> Reboot works fine.

Install MDADM -> reboot fails

mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/.... on /root
failed: Device or resource busy
...
...
No init found. Try passing init=bootarg.

Remove MDADM (boot on live-CD) -> reboot works fine

System has 7 disks. /dev/sda as boot disk. /dev/sd[bcdefg] are used as raid members.

Error occurs both when a raid is properly set up, and when all raid members have the superblock zeroed. Error occurs both when mdadm.conf is correct or blank, or missing.
