Is there any way i can make this work? Could it be doable with mdadm in
a initrd?

mdassembled was devise for this purpose.

create an /etc/mdadm.conf with
echo "DEVICE partitions" >> /etc/mdadm.conf
/sbin/mdadm -D -b /dev/md0 | grep '^ARRAY' >> /etc/mdadm.conf

copy the mdadm.conf and mdassemble to initrd
make linuxrc run mdassemble.

So there are no way of doing it the same way i386 does it, ie scanning
the partitions and assembly the raid by it self? Is this a bug on the
itanium (GPT partition scheme) or is this intentional?
