One thing that does seem to have helped is that I've removed mdraid from the |
| 44 |
boot run level. Bug 521280 refers. It seems that mdraid must be in the boot |
| 45 |
run level during installation and the first few boots of the system, but should |
| 46 |
be removed again when the error "mdadm: No arrays found in config file or |
| 47 |
automatically" starts appearing at boot time. |
