[Bug 817401] Re: after installing mdadm on live usb (persistent), usb doesn't boot anymore

[Anshuman Aggarwal]

This bug is reproducible on 11.10 and 12.04. Specifically this occurs
when the md array has a failed device. However this is a big issue
because the live usb is critical to resolving failed md device issues.

Title:
  after installing mdadm on live usb (persistent), usb doesn't boot
  anymore

Status in “mdadm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  it is on 11.04 (natty)

  N.B. three hdds (sda, sdb, sdc), sda is root (ubuntu installed),
  sdb+sdc are in raid1 (created by mdadm). so if hdd with ubuntu fails,
  I wanted to be able to load live usb, and use my raid1 (for restore
  backup and stuff).

  so I boot from live usb, then "sudo apt-get install mdadm", and reboot...
  and live usb does not boot anymore says something wrong with -init.

  is it a bug or fixable?
