Hi,

I have a machine running Debian Wheezy with kernel
3.4.60-vs2.3.3.9-beng. The root filesystem is a raid1 md device.

If I try to boot with kernel 3.10.13-vs2.3.6.6-beng I get the following:

mdadm: No devices listed in conf file were found.
[pause]
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
[some output deleted]

than it drops to a busybox shell.

It also happens with kernel 3.9. If I reboot with kernel 3.4 everything
works fine again.

It seems to be a problem with mdadm. Is this a known problem (or new
feature/config that I am unaware) in recent kernels?
