After updating from openSUSE 11.4/Tumbleweed to 12.1 Intel Matrix (ICH10R)
software raid setup with 2 disks in RAID1 started dropping to Verify state on
shutdown/reboot in a somewhat random, but more often than not fashion.

This prevents the system from starting since the raid is left in inactive state
on boot with no partitions created. Quick workaround has been to dual boot to
Windows and verify the raid setup with Intel's tools.

I'm quick to blame systemd for this, since it seems like the most obvious
change between the update (from SysV). I've yet to verify this by choosing SysV
init from boot menu and power cycling the system a few times. Will try that
later today when I get to the machine.

Also there is a spot on bug report at Red Hat bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=732297

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start up an Intel Matrix software raid system with systemd
2. Reboot
3. Confirm Intel raid state in boot display, should be Normal, but in some
cases has degraded to Verify
