Can you run add 'break=premount' to the kernel command line and try to
get some mdadm output? I don't know exactly what to look for, but maybe
try to assemble the array with verbose output. By using break=premount,
you hook into the boot process _before_ anything has been written to
your disk, so you don't destroy the consistency of your RAID.

Also, can we see your mdadm.conf? Which mdadm hook are you using, mdadm
or mdadm_udev (I use mdadm_udev btw)?
