Just thought I'd post a follow-up, the problem has been solved and I
learned something new in the process.
I extracted the files from the initrd file but didn't realize that a
copy of the mdadm.conf file is stored there as well. Sometime between
the last two kernel updates I had modified the /etc/mdadm.conf file with
incorrect settings for the arrays, I had then installed a new kernel
update which picked up my bad /etc/mdadm.conf file and inserted it into
the initrd. Once I learned that a copy of the conf file is stored in
the initrd it was a simple process to manually adjust the initrc file
with the correct file.
Problem solved!
Only remaining question, if I should adjust the /etc/mdadm.conf file
again how can I get the initrc file to update without having to manually
uncompress and extract the cpio archive and then re-archive and
re-compress it by hand?
I thought /etc/mdadm.conf wasn't really necessary anymore - and you said
the rescue mode boot worked when it obviously couldn't read it. What
happens if you just remove it?
