I just checked that it got broken between 11.10 and 12.04 release. So if there's someone capable of checking what versions of mdadm and initramfs-tools do these two distribution have, then maybe it leads to the solution.
One thing I noticed from a user perspective is that 11.10 installer (alternative) was asking me a question: do you want degraded RAID array to start And in 12.04 and 12.10 the installer stopped asking this question. I'm not sure if it's relevant. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1077650 Title: booting from raid in degraded mode ends in endless loop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1077650/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
