The kernel resides on /boot, which is _not_ on a RAID device, it's just 
 the root-fs (and from the messages, md _does_ come up right before the 
 root-fs is to be mounted).

Yes :( - really nobody here who knows how md works? Or who has the 
 root-fs on RAID, and can go look how it's configured?

>That's all I can think of...?  Sorry, I'm not much help at this point.

Eh, you tried. Noone can ask more. Thanks!
