Thanks.

Not sure if it is important or not, but update-iniramfs -u gives me an
error:

root at Medusa:~# update-initramfs -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-amd64

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Feb  1 21:06 imsm0 -> ../md127

The initram seems to have been generated fine though, and works as
expected :)

Again, thanks.
