Hi,

I apologize if the problem is related to udev instead of mdadm. In this case,
both packages have been updated as the same time and I've had already the
problem with udev breaking mdadm few days ago.

I've updated both udev and mdadm.

Since this upgrade, the system is not bootable with the updated initrd.

I've an lvm2 system over a raid1 partitions. One of the partitions is luks
encrypted.

It assembles normally the arrays but then stays without asking the passphrase
for the encrypted partition.

Regards 

Jean-Luc
