It is possible to invite the autodetection from initrd using the appropriate ioctl. Our not too elegant solution is available here: http://debian.caesar.elte.hu/dists/woody/itk/source/initrd-raid-autorun_0.2.dsc http://debian.caesar.elte.hu/dists/woody/itk/source/initrd-raid-autorun_0.2.tar.gz This contains a script which hooks the automagically generated ramdisk during the build phase.
