Comment 4 for bug 125471

I ran into this same problem. It's going to prevent me from using Ubuntu on servers where I don't have ready access to the console. If it cannot boot unattended in degraded mode, that means my server is down, even though it has an array to use.

In case it's of value, I also encountered this issue when by boot partition was not a RAID array, but other partitions on that same disk were part of an array. It still dropped me to a BusyBox prompt when the array was degraded, even though the boot partition was fine.

It'd be great to have this configurable -- let the system boot with the array degraded.

I'm new here -- how does one check the status of a fix for this bug? Is there a way to vote for its priority? Thanks everyone!
