A 'cat /proc/mdstat' should show the state of the raid mirroring.  I 
don't see anything that would explain not booting, though.  Raid1 works 
normally even when only one member is available and should continue to 
work while rebuilding.  Maybe the problem that caused the mismatch has 
corrupted the drive the system normally boots.
