Even if it's in RAID mode, it shouldn't cause a kernel panic.  That doesn't mean 
it doesn't, but it certainly SHOULDN'T.  If we actually have a bug here, send me 
a copy of the kernel (WITH debugging), and the FULL panic output and I'll see if 
I can figure out what's happening.

If it's just a "can't find init" or something like that, then we don't have an 
actual bug, just a misconfiguration.
