I also confirm this problem on a non SATA System. On booting it dumps me into a busybox. Like other users writing I do not see any harddrive devices in /dev - the raid array could not be created. I also tried to use the solution above (adding div. modules to /etc /initramfs-tools/modules) but it did not work.
I installed with the alternate CD and I was wondering why my IDE drives (normally hda/hdb) are shown as scsi drives (sda/sdb). So I tried to change the /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf) according to this information (with the new drive names) but it did not work, too. For me it looks like a problem how kernel modules load respectively if they are build in or not. If I get the time, I will try another Distribution with kernel 2.6.20 to see if the systems generally works with this kernel. Further information: Dell Optiplex 240, 2 IDE Harddrives, raid1 & lvm, fresh install of herd-5 (alternate CD), running edgy before without any problems. -- boot-time race condition initializing md https://launchpad.net/bugs/75681 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
