So md-personality-3 doesn't get loaded, and the array doesn't get started at all. i.e. the 'partition type FD' is not having any useful effect. So how does the array get started? Are there other message about md later in the kernel logs that talk about md1 ?? My guess is that 'raidstart' is being used to start the array somewhere along the line. 'raidstart' doesn't not start raid arrays reliably. Don't use it. Remove it from your system. It is unsafe. If you cannot get the raid1 module to be loaded properly, make sure that 'mdadm' is being used to assemble the array. It has a much better chance of getting it right.
