I load Ubuntu 12.04 precise (with kernel 3.2 since it was in the package) just 2 weeks ago. I had pre-existing raids and the raid's meta data was corrupted on the first boot after the successful installation so I have lost my data. I tried most of the suggestions that I found on the web, employing the intelligence in mdadm -assemble, etc. without success. I have now updated the kernel to 3.4.0 rc7 (3.4.0-030400-generic #201205210521 SMP) and built an empty raid. However, I cannot boot without disconnecting the RAID drives. With the RAID drives hooked up and the updated kernel with the additional parameters listed below, I I fall into busybox and cannot boot successfully. What do I do now? My configuration is Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz 7983 MiB running SELinux Raid is a simple stripping (level 0) for speed I have set the noautodetect and nodmraid parameters for the kernel
