Well, that shows that you don't have a separate /boot partition *mounted*,
but that doesn't mean you don't have one somewhere on your hard disk that's
being used instead. Are there no other partitions on your physical hard
disks besides the ones used for /dev/md0?

Also, is there a chance that your RAID array is running in degraded mode for
some reason, preventing the copy of /boot on the first drive from being
updated when you make changes to the system? (cat /proc/mdstat)

But as I said, this is unrelated to the bug you're following up to - this
question would be better dealt with in the Ubuntu forums.

Cheers,
