Hi Rich,
Just a few basic questions, since you always try the easy way first. Are
your partitions that make up /dev/md1 marked as linux raid autodetect (FD)?
Is your second raid device present in fstab?
Once those two things are verified, post the boot up output related to the
second raid array, and maybe we can help more. Also, post the output
of /proc/mdstat after the boot.
HTH.
