Comparing with an old (9.04) kubuntu, I noticed that /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/functions contained a definition for add_mountroot_fail_hook, whereas the same file for 10.04 no longer contains that definition.

initramfs-tools (which supplies the definition) is 0.92b in 9.04 and 0.93.2 in 10.04.

mdadm, on the other hand, is 2.6.7.1-1 in both versions.

It looks as if someone simply assumed that add_mountroot_fail_hook was no longer needed, without actually checking...

So, can we either have this back in the new initramfs-tools version, or have an updated mdadm version which no longer needs it?
