Hi Alvin
I'm not the OP, however, I've had a similar problem and /dev/md0
certainly does exist because if you try to recreate it with
mdadm --create a warning says that the devices are already part of an
array.

When running e2fsck it complains of a bad superblock and suggests:
e2fsck -b 8193 but it barfs on that too.

I've not tried it but I suspect if you run fsck once it's reassembled,
it will be fine. I think the issue is that the ide driver modules
aren't loaded when raid starts ... but I'm new to all this and may be
way off track ;)
