Problem booting RAID1/mdadm system when one disk is unplugged

All,
I have already posted this question to gmane.linux.raid, but would really appreciate some help from a Debian perspective please...
My System has 2x120GB IDE disks with the an up-to-date Sarge install, running kernel 2.6.8-3 and configured for mirroring.
When I tested booting my system, I found:
a) A kernel panic unless both disks are plugged in.
b) One disk removes from the array each reboot.
The relevant logs are on this thread:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.raid/13033/match=newbie+kernel+panic+raid1
I was advised this was a problem with my initrd because it didn't contain a mdadm.conf file and presumably that I should
Unfortunately, some friends of mine do not agree that my initrd is the problem because they point out that I can still boot when two disks are present. What do people here think?
Thanks in advance
James.
