Are you 100% sure that you didn't do:
mdadm -Cv -n2 -l1 /dev/md0 /dev/sda /dev/sdb, etc, etc?
(ie, note lack of subdevice for partition!!!)
That's the only thing I can image that would cause this:

It sounds like you created md devices out of whole disks instead of
partitions and overwrote the partition information. I don't *think*
this should be a problem, but I don't 100% know...
Try this to see if it finds your array:
mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda /dev/sdb

When you shutdown cleanly, your system's scripts almost certainly did
that for you! ::-)
