My grub.cnf was last modified 11/2016 and I've rebooted successfully into a RAID1 since. I think your problem is right there !!!

(Oh - initrd, initramfs, they're probably the same thing. :-) Cheers, Wol -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
