(Just a guess): make sure that you have "md" and "raid5" in initrd. > raid5: device hdc1 operational as raid disk 1 > raid5: device hda1 operational as raid disk 0 > raid5: not enough operational devices for md0 (2/4 failed) It says there what's wrong: it sees only hda and hdc at that point. So I have to assume not all needed boot modules (libata, sata-*) are included in your initrd.
