Debian: waiting for root filesystem fails (using software raid)
If your system does not boot up und you’re dropped to an initramfs shell after “waiting for root filesystem” fails – check your mdadm config /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf Make sure it contains the correct definitions which are available with mdadm --detail --scan Adjust your config and run update-initramfs -u -k all to make the system bootable again.
