Well, just for the record, I use a plain partition for my rootfs. I only use
raid-1 for my data partition, soo md is not needed at all for booting.
It just needs to have /dev/sda1, which it can't find cause it didn't load the
appropriate modules.

No, behavior is the same:
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/sda1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

Yes. The box was working fine with the previous kernel.
