First, the good news: Yes, you can get this up and running again.
The bad news: Be careful, it's a bit tricky - if you don't do it right, you
can trash your data.
Have a look at http://ostenfeld.dk/~jakob/Software-RAID.HOWTO, specifically
at section 6.1 - recovering from (temporary) multiple disk failure, or at
http://linuxhq.jimpick.com/lnxlists/linux-raid/lr_9905_01/msg00030.html
for the best description so far on how to deal with this problem. A few
additions: the faild-disk patch mentioned in the instructions is now part
of the main raid patch, it was included on 13.7.99 for kernel 2.2.10 and
2.0.37.
