says sdc1 is bad
and you have 4 disks that are identical ...
- so in theory you should not have a problem
unless the bad disk sdc1 is telling the others to copy
the bad disk sdc1

sdc1 ..
see the boot messages again ( as you have already posted it )

take /dev/sdc1 out of the raid ...
- reboot
- and if it comes back .. good ..
watch /proc/mdstat to make sure it's done resyncing before
doing anyting to the system other than logging in
when its done ...
- put /dev/sdc1 back in ... stop and start raid ..
and watch the resync
- reboot and hope and pray it likes it this time
- if not you may or may not have a bad disk /dev/sdc1
or the other bad disks have ganged up on the good disk

anything could be the problem ... time to experiment
===========
time to save your raid5 data elsewhere before you start playing
- save it to someplace else that you have not been using
so that you don't corrupt what was last weeks good data
in the normal backups
