I don't know how far the kernel and mdadm have come since then, and what has or has not been backported, but it sounds like you want a modern rescue CD. I'd be inclined to get something like SystemRescueCD https://www.system-rescue-cd.org/SystemRescueCd_Homepage and see if the mdadm and kernel on that work any better. It wouldn't surprise me if they do.
