Hi, I have the same problem on raid1 initialization at startup. Config is :
Kernel : 2.6.20-13 of feisty HW : 2 Sata drive on a ata_piix module dependand card, assembled in soft raid1 At grub prompt, without a break=premount, the kernel launches and tries to assemble the raid1 array, without seeing the 2 drives, the ata_piix module is only loaded 3seconds later but too late. with the break point i can load the module i need, and just continue without any problems. Regards -- initramfs-tools script doesn't wait for device initialization, preventing mdadm to assemble md arrays https://launchpad.net/bugs/83025 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
