​Yes, more than happy to.   I have the non-booting dual-SAS RAID1 SAS 6/iR
setup on the workbench right now...  (we still believe that all our SATA
disk based SAS 5/6 systems are working fine, it appears to just be the SAS
disk ones that have the problem, but they are all mostly RAID1 setups)

I've not built debian source package stuff before, and wasn't quickly able
to determine how to even do it on the systemd-215 download,
so prebuilt packages for amd64 would help greatly.

I'm also not entirely sure if this is happening in the initrd level or in
the ​/lib/systemd/systemd-udevd, so can i simply extract the
'systemd-udevd' from your package and drop onto the target disk directory,
or should i 'dpkg -i' on it from the chroot of my FAI install before
reboot, or do i need to run a mkinitramfs or
some other higher-level debian initrd rebuild binary?   Just let me know
what i need to do to if it involves something more complex than either a
pgk->disk extraction or 'dpkg -i'

thanks,
