Previously it was ubuntu 2.6.32-27-server or 2.6.32-28-server and now it is
ubuntu 2.6.32-29.58-server 2.6.32.28+drm33.13

You're right, I'm sorry. I have copied this line, just changing the /dev/sd?
Here's full output of mdadm --examine /dev/sd[cdefg]1
As you can see, disks sdc, sdd and sde claims to be different, is it a problem?
