I've gotten this issue after reordering the SATA ports my devices are plugged into. The MD-device assembles fine on a Live CD and using the steps in #4 in a chroot on the Live CD got the system booting again, but only after having the error reported in the original issue repeated three or four times:
>incrementally starting raid arrays mdadm: Create user root not found mdadm: create group disk not found incrementally started raid arrays So the machine now takes about 5 minutes to boot instead of 10s. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1335642 Title: mdadm runs into infinite loop and prevents initrd/initramfs phase to finish on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/1335642/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
