There is also my bug listed against mkinitrd:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452366
The initrd only appears to start the first md device, no matter what is
in your /etc/mdadm.conf (the one in the initrd is correct and has all my
devices).
The init script only does this:
mdadm -As --auto=yes --run /dev/md0
Rather than, as I think it should:
mdadm --assemble --scan
Luckily my first raid device contains all the partitions I need to boot,
the second is my home dir and data partitions, so I can get to single
user mode and start everything by hand.
