[solved] boot problem - from flash stick now

I have a problem resembling this one https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=130074 but not the same. The problem has appeared after upgrading NAS to kernel 3.1.3.

The NAS is headless, boots from flash stick, has raid1 with two hdds. I also have 'not found' /sbin/mdadm and 'unable to determine major/minor number of root device /dev/disk/by-uuid/5f......' messages (all devices are accessed by id, and I have verified with blkid - running on workstation - ids are the same). On the stick /boot is ext2, / and /var are ext4.

I have tried twice to restore an OS from dd-made stick image (without any problem, it still has kernel 2.6 from few months ago backup) and to upgrade Arch to, now, 3.1.4. I have verified mkinitcpio creates img files (about 2 and 10 MB). Second time I even reinstalled linux package just after upgrading. Result is the same.

I have also played with disablehooks kernel option without success.

Any thoughts?
