Hi David, Removing mdadm is okay, no hotplug devices use it and it only required if you have a software RAID device/setup.
>From the bug report that you posted, this is a new "feature" that gets you to make sure the mdadm.conf file is the same as the out of a mdadm scan. This causes the failure of your initrd creation as initrd builds depend on mdadm being happy (because you can include modules related to mdadm to be built into your initrd to bring up hardware devices before mdadm tries to create md devices) before they are built. -- Steve (sorry, just hit reply before thinking.. must be from my intense three day session on "forgetting all about work") :-} david wrote: > I'm getting error messages about mdadm.
