Debian reminds me of those Mars Rovers, they're not supposed to be able to
work but they get into a hostile environment and surprise everybody by

I stumbled on the initramfs scripts, held my breath and added a
local-top script which assembled my root array. No

I'm still having no luck booting an mdadm 1.2 root.
grub2 works - I get into the boot kernel and initram. But when it
comes to mount the real kernel, I fall into initramfs shell with a
message that the kernel can't be found. And it can't, because the
raid root device hasn't been assembled. (No
