Thanks!
I ran into this as well, I believe at this point you want to set:
md-mod.start_dirty_degraded=1
as part of your boot options. Understand you may see some filesystem
corruption as noted in the documentation.
See:

Woo Hoo! I am back in the running!
The md-mod.start_dirty_degraded enabled me to get the array running and
I can now boot the machine.
Per Neil's comments, I adjusted the partitioning on the new drive
(/dev/hdd2) to exactly match that of the other partitions in the array.
Success! The array is now rebuilding with the new disk!!
Thanks for everyone's help on this--I'd be dead without it. In return,
maybe I can impart a lesson learned. My big problem was that the new
replacement disk, even though the same model as the original it was
replacing, did not have the same geometry as the original. It was short
by 2 cylinders, which prevented it from being added to the array. Next
time I create an array of "identical" disks, I am going to keep a few
cylinders on each one unused for just this type of problem.
Again, thanks for all the help!
Paul
