Bug description:
  Booting a system with a software raid device can randomly or systematically
  fail.

  The system boot will fail at the initramfs stage and the system complain
  that it can't find the software raid device.

  The user ends up on the initramfs console. Rebooting might solve the issue
  (or not).

  Happens at once on boot.

  I happened to use the kernel 3.0.0-17, because the computer would not boot because of the bug that the line
  udevadm settle
  is missing in function degraded_arrays() in the file /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/mdadm-functions which results in a halt on an initram fs console.
