Oh dear, that means you are using intel fake raid. I had no end of
trouble when I tried to do that, and often had to manually start the
raid in the initramfs before the boot would continue.
Unless you are sharing the drive with windows I would highly recommend
avoiding that, and doing the software raid purely in linux. It is much
simpler and much better supported.
