I eventually got 2157 to boot by editing the init script in the initrd
image
to utterly eradicate all references to the Windows XP raid that I don't
want
to access from linux (but which linux insisted on trying to access
anyway).
If you are actually trying to boot from a raid you need to be able to
access, the solution isn't as simple. My bugzillas with more details
about what I did are:
