Note that you don't need to stay on that kernel. That boot option works because
the initrd for that kernel was build with an older version of mkinitrd
(presumably when it was installed). You can use the older version of mkinitrd
to rebuilt the initrd for later kernels if you are interested in testing
them sooner rather than later.

If you have encryption over raid, then there is some tweaking to be done.
