And unfortunately all distros are different and I'm not particularly familiar with Ubuntu. Maybe if you mkdir /tmp/initrd cd /tmp/initrd zcat /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-amd64 | cpio -idv and then have a look around and particularly report etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf and anything else that might be interesting. If the mdadm.conf in the initrd is the same as in /etc/mdadm, then it *should* work. NeilBrown
