I was apparently missing something like the raid1 kernel module in the initramfs in my fedora 21 partition, but I disabled the mdmonitor service and removed the raid filesystem from the /etc/fstab, yet the system still could not boot. It spent several minutes trying to recognize the raided disks then went into the dracut shell.
There should be a reference to an automatically generated rdsosreport.txt for you to post.
If not, then post the output from journalctl -b -l -o short-monotonic
Should it really be utterly impossible to boot a system that merely has raided disks connected to it which no one is trying to reference? Should I make a kernel bug for this?
No. And no, seems premature. I didn't have to make a special initramfs or even create mdadm.conf in order for a post-install created raid1 to be picked up and activated automatically at boot. It's only activated, not mounted, and the boot didn't fail. So without more information it's difficult to help.
