 	Hi ,

 	I am building a diskless system with 2.6.15.1 kernel. Eveyrthing is built 
in the kernel ( no modules). It is booting with the help of pxelinux and 
then proceeds to nfsmount its root filesystem etc.The system has a raid1 
array on two scsi disks.
 	Recently I added an initramfs image to the boot procedure (append 
initrd=initramfs.img) for some tests. Since then the raid array is not 
autodetected (with identical kernel). If I remove the initramfs line and 
reboot , the array is autodetected. When I am using initramfs I can 
manually activate it using mdadm.

 	Is this by design or something is wrong ?

 	TIA,
