GRUB does not assemble raid. That's why it only works with RAID1. |

By your own account, GRUB has succeeded, therefore GRUB is not the |
| 11 |
problem. |

The problem is the kernel |

|
| 15 |
The kernel assembles RAID by looking for partitions of with the Linux |
| 16 |
RAID partition type, finding out what kind of RAID they are, and |
| 17 |
assembling them (according to their RAID volume UUID). |

You apparently only have one RAID volume. It's probably being assigned |
| 20 |
to /dev/md0, yet you are passing root=/dev/md3.. not sure why you are |
| 21 |
doing that. |
