OK, that screen shot looks the same as your previous captures from when it booted OK. The busybox prompt you get there happens when the boot process in the initramfs didn't apparently complete correctly - and it's giving you a chance to fix it; so there isn't much point in a timeout when it's got

I'm not entirely sure what an "initramfs" prompt is. When I have been able to see the prompt, it has been a busybox prompt. There have been a handful of hangs where it is a blank screen with a mouse cursor in the center. In either case, typing "exit" and hitting the return key has always continue

Hmm ok, I was wrong on that - that mdadm.conf doesn't specify the devices, so it found the devices from the UUID anyway. I think this might need someone with more udev foo to look at; if you get to the (initramfs) prompt again please get a copy of /proc/partitions and /proc/mdstat at that point t

I have had two more hangs. The messages are not consistent. In these most recent hangs, there was no mention of a degraded raid. In fact I did not see anything at all go by that looked like an error message before it dumped me into busybox. Is there a way I can get a larger console when booting? I

If you use shift right as it starts to boot, it should get you the grub menu, then you can edit the boot line and you should see splash and quiet on the end of the boot line, delete those and then let it continue booting. I think you could make the same thing permenantly by editing /etc/default/gr
