Now that I think back, I don't think I ever rebooted the machine
between setting up the raid originally and the power failure. I.e.
raid-autodetect never worked in the first place.
I was just able to boot the machine the first time, it saw the
disks in the array, I created the RAID array, and mounted it. Then a week
or so later the power failed, and the machine rebooted. On boot up it
attempted an autodetected and then commited suicide. At least running RAID
setup from init.d scripts works just fine, and the RAID itself it
perfectly stable. With that, I can live without autodetect.
Anyway, thanks for your help and the tip about figuring out useful
information from the kernel oops. TTYL.
