[Bug 290885] [NEW] SRU: Backport of Boot Degraded RAID functionality from Intrepid to Hardy

[Dustin Kirkland]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mdadm

We have significantly improved booting on degraded software RAID in
Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex.  Numerous Hardy users have requested a backport of
this functionality to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.

This will involve updating:
 * mdadm, initramfs-tools, grub

Also, grub-installer will need to be updated as well.

The grub-installer and mdadm-udeb changes would ideally be included in
an 8.04.2 update.
