Thanks for the reply, Martin.
My mdadm.conf works fine in the 686 kernels, so it is clearly not "wrong".

I'm not interested in deleting mdadm.conf or taking any other steps
that might break the existing functionality.
I'm not reporting this bug because I must have an amd64 kernel- like I
said, the 686 and 686bigmem kernels are working. I initiated this bug
to help get the amd64 version of the kernel (or mdadm?) fixed. I'm
interested in steps that will help fix the packages, not manually work
around its flaws.
Anyhow, I'll look at mdadm.conf when I am able to- but I'm pretty it's
exactly what debian-installer from debian-5.01 gives you when you
tell it you want a non-LVM boot-from-software-RAID setup. I did a
simple two partition (raid and swap) on each drive and a simple
one-partition ext4 inside the RAID.
Best Regards.
Tony
