I extracted the initrd file and looked at the file "init". in this file I can see the following (relevant) information..

Don't you need a "modprobe md" before this? Did you build this configuration with the installer or have you copied a working system to a different machine?
Not sure if I need the modprobe md first, I thought (incorrectly?) that when you load a module it loads all the required modules with it.
This was a system converted to a RAID 1 setup a while back, after the raid was configured I had rebuild the initrd with the following command: mkinitrd --preload=raid1 initrd-2.6 ......
The exact method I used can be found in this message I sent to the list about a year ago: http://www.redhat.com/archives/rhl-list/2007-June/msg06369.html
