This was necessary in newer versions of mdadm. I never reported it because the fix was already in mkinitcpio's git repo. Fixes: you can add that -v flag yourself to the line which begins "for raidmod in $(mdadm [add -v here]..." Or you can use mkinitcpio 0.5.27-1 in [testing]. Or boot using the fallback kernel image, which doesn't use autodetect. And wait until mkinitcpio makes it way to the core repos. -- Jim Pryor profjim@xxxxxxxxxxxx
