I was thinking about whether to file a bug today. USB devices are generally not permanently attached to the computer, so is it reasonable to expect MODULES=dep to include the drivers specific to detachable hardware? I came to the conclusion that probably it is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the initramfs contains the necessary drivers for the system, and that something to that effect should be included in the release notes.

My RAID devices are in two different USB enclosures (which, admittedly, is a little strange). The one USB enclosure only requires usb-storage which was included in the initramfs, but the other seems to require ums-cypress. As this driver was only being loaded once the root filesystem was available, the device was coming up too late to be included by mdadm. Adding ums-cypress to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules includes the driver in the initramfs, so the device come up in time. What is interesting is that I no longer need the rootdelay parameter that I needed in lenny anymore.

I did a full upgrade from lenny to squeeze yesterday and it worked without a problem. I followed the upgrade procedure recommended in the release notes [1]. Specifically, I did the minimal system upgrade, then upgraded udev and the kernel, and then did a full upgrade. Does your system have a RAID or are you using LVM? Also, did you do the conversion from device-based naming to UUID-based naming? Are you sure that you have upgraded both udev and the kernel? According to the release notes, the squeeze udev will not work properly with the lenny kernel. Do you have a rootdelay parameter set for your lenny kernel command line? If so, you will need to set that parameter again for the squeeze image using apex-env.
