So I updated it: # dpkg-reconfigure --priority=low mdadm update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-5-686 I: mdadm: using configuration file: /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf I: mdadm: no MD arrays will be started from the initial ramdisk. I: mdadm: use `dpkg-reconfigure --priority=low mdadm` to change this. and selected not to assemble the array during boot. After reboot it works.
