Have to use fallback image to boot to RAID5/LVM kernel26 2.6.29.1-3

Just upgraded to 2.6.29.1-3, and I couldn't boot afterwards.  At first I thought it might be some hardware changes I made, so I reverted those but made no gains.  If I don't use the fallback image, I see messages saying /dev/sda3, /dev/sdb3, /dev/sdc3 are not valid devices, and then mdadm fails to assemble its array and LVM fails load its volume, and then I'm kicked into the recovery console, which doesn't help much as my usb keyboard doesn't function at that point.  Anyone else having issues?

This is your first 2.6.29 kernel, right? Please comment in this bug thread: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14005

Ah, thanks for pointing me to that.  Edited my mkinitcpio.conf to be like tpowa suggested and all is well again.  The RAID guides in the wiki could stand to be edited...
