Dear Fumihito,
first of all, thanks for your fast reply!

1) No, ?No, I'm on amd64. I just went to the archive ubuntu site you suggested and found out that the following exists:

mdadm-udeb_2.6.3+200709292116+4450e59-3ubuntu1_amd64.udeb 13-Dec-2007 01:04 76K

mdadm-udeb_2.6.3+200709292116+4450e59-3ubuntu1_powerpc.udeb 13-Dec-2007 01:04 85K
mdadm-udeb_2.6.3+200709292116+4450e59-3ubuntu1_sparc.udeb 13-Dec-2007 01:04 91K

...it seems a fresh new 2.6.3 version of mdadm - maybe it cures the bug ?!?

2) First time I deal with mdadm RAID, but from experiences on other OS with SW RAID, I learned (the hard way) that it is safe not to mess around with driver version different than the ones that created the arrays. But if I have no alternatives... I will try.

3) I tried to find details of this new 2.6.3, but found none. Good common sense makes me think that the mantainer od mdadm was aware of the bug and solved it in this new version, making the all "scripting from grub menu" solution unnecessary...

Suggestions?
