16 Omfg... Facepalm!!!

18 Totally ignorant i really did genkernel with initramfs, added dodmraid as
19 parameter, ...
20
21 Should have simply done a genkernel --help, which showed up the "mdadm"
22 parameter :-(
23
24 After doing this - and changing the mdadm.conf a litte bit - everything works
25 as expected... Ok, not everything - should remove all the unneeded modules
26 from kernel which i added to locate the error.

28 Thanx a lot to all,
