4 Are the partitions typed as raid auto-detect (fd)?
5 Or are you expecting an initrd to assemble the RAID from config data?
6 May be an issue with timing in the initrd if the latter.

8 Also try making sure that all of the components required to access the
9 boot volume are compiled into the kernel (e.g., drivers, RAID, LVM,
10 filesystem). This avoids dependency & timing issues pulling in the
11 modules.

13 Might be worth using unetbootin to put a minimal install image onto a
14 thumb drive and see whether the kernel is reliably building the RAID
15 for you. If booting the install consistently shows your RAID built at
16 boot time then the problem is either in your kernel configs or LVM. If
17 nothing else, having the thumb around makes dealing with hardware
18 failures a helluva lot easier.
