sounds like your kernel doesnt support software raid
try to see if raid modules are loaded or can be loaded
lsmod | grep -i raid
insmod raid | raidtools | raidtools2
just commented on the 2 things that stuck out when i did my 2 second

other important things to look for ..
lilo.conf or grub.conf
where root=/dev/md0 and boot=/dev/md0
