    Just for fun, have you tried re-partitioning your disks to create a new array?
    It looks like your were using the entire disks of sda and sdb?
    Try making a raid 1 from something like sda2 and sdb2. Ignore the first
    partition. You may have to zero the superblock prior.
    I think your system is fine, if you can manually create an array, mount
    it and start using it. If its not happening on boot, then there's
    something little thats not making it initialize.
    But who knows for sure.

    Hope you get it working.

    Cheers,
    Mike
