Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.109.1
Severity: grave

Dear Maintainer,

I found this bug described very well in bug #699437, but as the author of the bug, I strongly believe that the bug is related to initramfs-tools.
My RAID controller is a Silicon Image SiI 3112A SATARaid, configured in RAID1.
I strongly encourage you to read the previously mentionned bug report.

Basically, my box randomly fails to boot (meaning that sometimes it succeds) on my RAID partition, with the exact same screen as in the bug #688437.

I tried to add a rootdelay=5 option, which didn't change anything.

I'm not completely sure about that, but it seems that the bug only occurs with kernel 3.2 and not with kernel 2.6.

A patch to handle dmraid better would be most appreciated.

Best regards,
Quentin Lefebvre

Closing this, as it seems to be caused by a configuration error that
dmraid should warn about.
