I was thinking initramfs too but when I ran reportbug-ng to generate this against mdadm, Martin was smart enough to prompt a person to check the included mdadm FAQ.gz file item #26. I have since added a rootdelay to the kernel boot param. I can now boot on 3.9 without being dropped to a shell for unfound devices.

The only major thing that really changed when I updated was the kernel going from 3.2 to 3.9. The FAQ.gz even states that this issue is probably caused by the disk controller drivers.

It is the same as #675452, mergeing as such.
