Ok, I did that. Unfortunately, there is the same problem with md1:

(initramfs) mdadm -C /dev/md1 -l1 -n2 /dev/sd[ab]5
mdadm: /dev/sda5 appears to be part of a raid array:
...
mdadm: array /dev/md1 started.
...
md1: unknown partition table
...
md: md1: resync done.
(initramfs) mount /dev/md1 /root
mount: mounting /dev/md1 on /root failed: No such file or directory
(initramfs) ls -l /dev/md1
brw-rw----   1   0   0   9,   1 Mar 5 09:59 /dev/md1

What's wrong?
