I just rebooted my server this morning and noticed that the server never came back online. I just got home, and turned the old monitor on, and it was sitting at the "(initramfs)" prompt. I just ran dmesg, and at the end it shows (paraphrased):
Did one of my raid 5 drives die? What else could be causing issues? I boot from a separate 640gb sda drive, but /home is mounted on the md0 drive.
edit: Scrolling up the dmesg output a bit shows:
