Did you create  /etc/mdadm.conf ?

echo "DEVICE /dev/sd*" > /etc/mdadm.conf
mdadm --brief --examine /dev/sd* >> /etc/mdadm.conf

Check the raid with
cat /proc/mdstat

It tells you which devices are part of the array.

Finally put the raid flag on the partitions. I'm not sure whether it's 
really needed, I just do it:
parted /dev/sda
set 1 raid
set 2 raid
print
1          0.031    101.975  primary   ext3        boot, raid
2        101.975 194474.355  primary               raid
quit
