No, it sounds like an old distro that isn't using udev and incremental assembly. I don't know of a solution.
I use several of those (old distros that is). In the initramfs mdadm waits for the devices to become available, the starts the arrays in order as listed in the mdadm.conf. I've never had an issue failing to start a stacked array and I don't use incremental assembly.
You do need to make sure they are listed in the correct order in the config file, but even mdadm --detail --scan seems to spit out the arrays in the correct order (or maybe I just get lucky).
