He's right though. This bug broke my system after I upgraded to Feisty and I looked at the scripts, too. The check is there.

Same here. I added a "sleep 3" to the mdadm script and my system now consistently boots. Previously, I got an error message from mdadm that it couldn't find the devices that made up my RAID. Might adding udevsettle somewhere help in this regard?
