It turns out that I was missing ums-cypress.ko in my initramfs. My RAID devices are in two different USB enclosures (which, admittedly, is a little strange). The one USB enclosure only requires usb-storage which was included in the initramfs, but the other seems to require ums-cypress. As this driver was only being loaded once the root filesystem was available, the device was coming up too late to be included by mdadm. Adding ums-cypress to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules includes the driver in the initramfs, so the device come up in time. What is interesting is that I no longer need the rootdelay parameter that I needed in lenny anymore.
