For What It is Worth (FWIW)

I'm seeing the same problem on my machine here.  There are no
"autodetect raid" partitions present, so there should be no attempt to
read an md0 device in the first place!

My machine is an AMD K6/2 @ 400MHz with 320MB on a Asus P5A-B.

This is with the boot.iso of 2004-11-23 05:46 from the hiwaay.net
mirror.

Someone should bugzilla this, but I don't know how to capture the boot
messages when it fails this way.
