After installing mindi system won't boot



I am testing mindi and mondo, but after installing mindi, install mdadm too,
and asked me some question referred to raid (I think so), well I answered
either no or none to questions, and after reboot, it seems that kernel search
for raids, but I have one single disk, and it stops searching for a root
filesystem or something so...


These are the output:

dpkg-reconfigure mdadm
Stopping MD monitoring service: mdadm --monitor.

W: mdadm: unchecked configuration file: /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf
W: mdadm: please read /usr/share/doc/mdadm/README.upgrading-2.5.3.gz .

And the mdam.conf looks as follows:

# mdadm.conf
#
# Please refer to mdadm.conf(5) for information about this file.
#

# by default, scan all partitions (/proc/partitions) for MD superblocks.
# alternatively, specify devices to scan, using wildcards if desired.

# auto-create devices with Debian standard permissions

# automatically tag new arrays as belonging to the local system

# instruct the monitoring daemon where to send mail alerts

Well I don't understand why this happened, I only wanted to test mindi, not
configure raid, how I restore my earlier booting config,


--Please help to recover the typical bot with no raid :'(
