hmm i had suspected a more "esoteric" setup.
tested it myself with latest initramfs-tools on raid root.

yes can you put the initramfs archive somewhere online where i can take a
look at it.

how did you generate it?

does regenerating the initramfs image help:
update-initramfs -u -t -k 2.6.14-1-686

assuming you use the linux-image-2.6-686 from unstable?
 
thanks for your feedback,
as 0.30 worked for you i assume a missing module due to the
lvm and md split out. hope we can nail that down soon.
