The simplest for me would be to email it, it's about 5.1MB. (firewalls and all)

Tried it, the system drops into BusyBox on boot with seemingly the same messages that were already described: 
....
md: no devices found for /dev/md1
md: no devices found for /dev/md2
md: no devices found for /dev/md3

Also tried to create a new etch image with
 # update-initramfs -ctk 2.6.18-6-686
but the system doesn't boot with this image, fails to assemble the mdadm drives but it does print the initrd section

I can email it as well if you wish, in a separate message, it's about 6.3MB.


Thanks
