You have an almost fully functional system in that ramfs environment. Look at the output of 'ls -l /dev/mapper' to see if the devices are indeed missing. Look at 'ls -l /dev/sd*' to see if your hard drives even show up. If they do, try to issue 'dmraid -ay' again and see if the /dev/mapper devices show up now. This might just be a timing problem: dmraid -ay might be called before /dev/sd* is fully set up and detected - we had these problems in the past already. The 'sleep' hook put after the udev hook can work around that. If it isn't a timing problem, then your hard drives are probably not detected. The reasons for this can be manifold, but it never hurts to try if the fallback image shows the same behaviour.
