mdassembled was devise for this purpose.
create an /etc/mdadm.conf with
echo "DEVICE partitions" >> /etc/mdadm.conf
/sbin/mdadm -D -b /dev/md0 | grep '^ARRAY' >> /etc/mdadm.conf
copy the mdadm.conf and mdassemble to initrd
make linuxrc run mdassemble.
So there are no way of doing it the same way i386 does it, ie scanning
the partitions and assembly the raid by it self? Is this a bug on the
itanium (GPT partition scheme) or is this intentional?
if you mean the in-kernel autodetect junk, you should only be happy it
does not work on your system, so you are not tempted to use it.
even on i386 it is badly broken, and i won't return on the subject.
it has been discussed on this list to boredom.
