I don't know if any raid config info is in there, but it
definitely needs additional drivers in the initramfs (that's
how I eventually got the system to boot).

I'm suspecting it knows enough to recognize the some of the
raid metadata then gets upset because there is no raid
driver loaded. I just wonder if the response to that could
be more useful than hanging forever :-).
