baselayout-1.12.4-* fails to load kernel modules (e.g. SATA) before it tries to start sw RAID. Downgrading to 1.11.15-r3 fixes the problem. URL above also reports this.

Created attachment 94394 [details, diff] Start checkroot, modules, then volumes, then rest of critical services. Please test this patch and report back. vapier, see anything wrong with this?
Yes! This patch works for me. The kernel modules are loaded before RAID is started. Thanks!
Patch applied to our svn repo - will be in baselayout-1.12.5
1.12.5 stable now, closing.
