I have a Core 2 Quad 6600, with an Abit P35 motherboard. Also the raid drives are all on the intel sata controller:

So md0 gets detected then at the end of the boot cycle I get that
md: md0 stopped
But then:
# mdadm --auto-detect
#
# cat /proc/mdstat

md0 : active raid5 sda1[0] sdb1[3] sdc1[2] sdd1[1]

(I forgot to get the before of /proc/mdstat, it said that no raids were detected or something like that)
mdadm --detail still doesn't give me the correct information
