At a guess, I'd say that you are relying on auto-detection of raid arrays using raid-auto-detect partition types, and that /dev/hdd3 isn't set to raid-auto-detect. If that isn't it, some kernel log messages would probably help, along with more details of why you expect it to work (e.g. are you using raidstart, mdadm, autodetect, etc).
