Just rebuilt a C6 box last week as C7. Four drives, and sda and sdb for
root, with RAID-1 and luks encryption.

The problem is md125. System gagged on bringing it up when I rebooted,
until I commented it out of fstab.
Now, cryptsetup gives me the same UUID as I have in /etc/mdadm.conf. The
entry in /etc/crypttab looks identical to the RAIDs for root and swap, but
nope.
I was able to d an mdadm --assemble -u $(UUID from mdadm.conf), and then a
cryptopen luks... but never got anything in /dev/mapper.
I'm still fighting - any thoughts? (No, I can't reboot again, like I did
this morning, it's now serving four important home directories from
another pair of drives with RAID 1.)
