[Bug 278176] Re: Intrepid ubuntu server won't boot RAID1

[Michael Hipp]

"Also, would it be possible to post any messages on the console before
dropping to a busybox shell?"

I think that's what these are, from above. Or did I misunderstand?
------------------------------------------
The console messages just before dropping into BusyBox are like this (transcribed):
    MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
    Loading, please wait...
    uvesafb: failed to execute /sbin/v86d
    uvesafb: make sure that the v86d helper is installed and executable
    uvesafb: Getting VBE info block failed (eax=0x4f00, err=-2)
      <pause for several seconds>
    Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
      <snip>
    ALERT! /dev/md0 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
