Bug#784070: mdadm Software RAID1 with GPT on Debian 8.0.0 amd64 - Does not mount/boot on disk removal

[Robert.K.]

I apologize if I missed something, but ONLY adding rootdelay=XX guessed
seconds does not help against being dropped to an initramfs-shell.

There may be two different bugs?

One for when not waiting for slow devices but the boot continues, which is
cured by rootdelay=xx. This error/bug has the message "Found some drive for
an array that is already active" and blinks by when booting. I guess this
is #714155 ?

And another - much worser one - that halts the boot process and drops to an
initramfs-shell where some of the md-devices are shown as RAID0 instead of
RAID1 when doing mdadm --detail /dev/mdX from the initramfs-shell or after
forcing a boot with mdadm --run etc from the initramfs shell. This
error/bug has the message "Gave up waiting for root device..."  And
this is #784070
?
