If you have /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 in raid1, "md0 : inactive
dm-0[0](S)" line is obviously wrong, it should be something like
"md0 : active raid1 sda1[0] sdb1[1]".

So, what's this dm-0 device?
Prehaps you had sda/sdb linked via device mapper during boot?

Try removing md0 (by "--manage --stop") and re-assemble the raid,
specifying the correct devices.

Try to remove md0 and re-create it, specifying the right devices (or
just /dev/sda1, then add sdb1).
Alternatively, you can try --assemble --scan, maybe it'll just work
now, then I guess something wrong should be happening during boot.
