To see the cause of the error you would need to look further back in the kernel logs for some messsage about md kicking the device from the array. Presumably you know which device is meant to be the other half of the RAID1. I suggest you try reading that whole device with dd if=/dev/whatever of=/dev/null bs=10M and if that works, just add the device with mdadm /dev/md0 --add /dev/whatever and see how it goes.
