The latter I assume is normal, since mdo (in my case) is an ext3 partition and not a disk with a partition table, the same applies to md1, which is not anything that could be recognized as a valid disk, because it is completely encrypted.
Agree it could be anything, even udev, where I found some references to. Nevertheless, MDADM 3.1.2 seems to worsen the problem, as does the current Grub2. >> When rebooting I have the same behaviour as what you described first; > > Now *this* sounds dangerous: Failing to reboot for a newly-installed > system.

Given the fact this happens on a VM makes me confident it is not Hardware related.

Only have to help with the busybox commands to get it up and running.

On the otherhand the machine does not feel too hot either. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
