I remain unconvinced. His raid gets probed by the kernel before initrd
would have started, so it cannot be fixed by initrd.
scsi_mod.scan= [SCSI] sync (default) scans SCSI busses as they are
discovered. async scans them in kernel threads,
allowing boot to proceed. none ignores them, expecting
user space to do the scan.
This will not help since his raid probing is done by the kernel before
userspace is available to load the ahci module... which is needed to
find the other 4 disks.
