I seem to be getting closer.. If I try booting from a kernel without raid1 and md support, but using an initrd with raid1/md modules, then I get the "ALERT! /dev/md0 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" message. I can't understand why there would be any difference between using a kernel with raid1/md support, or using an initrd image with raid1/md support, but apparently there is. If anyone else has any
Autodetection doesn't occur unless md is built into the kernel -- one of the reasons why using autodetection is becoming less and less popular. You're probably better off assembling the array from your initrd with some invocation of mdadm.
