Bug#594472: grub-pc: scary messages and very long boot time after upgrade

[Alexander Kurtz]

Hi Andreas,

let's try to keep this short, this bug report is already long enough:

Good.

Even better.

Not so good.

Ok, let me summarize:
 * You did have[1] the problem that was caused by mdadm bug #583917[2].
   However, after upgrading to mdadm 3.1.4 that is solved.
 * You did have[3] some issue with cryptsetups initramfs hook.
   However, for some reason that is gone now.
 * You do still have the problem that for some reason your root file 
   system is not correctly mounted during initramfs stage.

Everything correct so far? If so we can focus on tackling the last
point!

Best regards

Alexander Kurtz
