thanks

Hi Toni,

Everybody else's problems were definitely caused[1][2] by mdadm bug
#583917[3]. Could you try upgrading to mdadm 3.1.4 (has reached squeeze
already), regenerate your initramfs and report whether this solves your
booting problems?

If your system doesn't currently boot at all, please see my former
mail[4] for instructions.

When doing so, please make sure that you use the right names (compared
to /etc/crypttab) when unlocking your crypto devices. Not doing so was
why Andreas could still not boot after upgrading mdadm[5].

Best regards

Alexander Kurtz
