[Bug 872220] Re: Fails to boot when there's problems with softraid

[draco]

I agree. The fact my device has been renumbered is not relative to this
bug, and also not directly relative to the upgrade.

If I understand well, you complain about the fact ubuntu won't boot with a
degraded array and don't allow any possibility to continue the boot process
without mounting the array.
Mainly because we can't enter an answer to the message on the splash screen.

This is about that problem, I propose my apport infos.

If I misunderstand the problem you are reporting for, please, let me
know.

Title:
  Fails to boot when there's problems with softraid

Status in “mdadm” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 11.10 has a new feature that it warns you while booting if
  there's a program with the softraid.

  It tells you that a hard disk in the softraid is missing, then asks,
  on the console:

  Continue to boot? y/N

  But it ignores all keypresses. After 5 seconds or so it then times
  out, falls to the default "N" option, and dumps you to a emergency
  bash prompt, with no indication on how to proceed.

  The feature is a good idea, but not in the current broken state.
