Yes and no. Due to being overly careful, I just ended up loading all
RAID modules if no RAID arrays need to be assembled. :)

This is the patch, against /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/mdadm:

Do you need raid1 for the root partition?

I think it would help much if you could set -x in
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/mdadm and then post the output
created when running update-initramfs.

Can I convince you to file a bug about this against mdadm?
