Bug #2997: Raid 1 boot disk problems when booting OI_151.1.5

Since upgrading to OI_151.1.5 I have experienced problems with the Raid 1 boot disk on my LSI 2411-4i constantly going into a degraded state. Initially I thought it was a disk problem and replaced the "faulty drive" but the problem remains. If I boot into the LSI controller bios and resynchronise the drives and performance a consistency check and then boot OI_151.1.5 it hangs. I have to power cycle my computer, which will then boot into OI_151.1.5 but it reports the Raid disk is in a degraded state.

If I boot into OI_151.1.4 then the problem does not occur, the disk will happily resychronise and boot normally without locking up the system.
