That's how I read it too.
I re-compiled the kernel with support for RAID. Then I was able to
"mkraid /dev/md0", but recieved "mkraid: aborted..." same as you. My
/proc/mdstat
showed the same as yours.
Honestly, I never figured out how to fix it. We happened to have a
copy of RH6 on hand and rather that "waste" any more time I installed it.
Worked like a charm.
