Yeah, this worked, from the live-ubuntu: apt-get install mdadm mdadm -A -R /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 mount /dev/md0 /mnt cd /mnt mount -t proc proc proc/ mount -t sysfs sys sys/ mount -o bind /dev dev/ cd / chroot /mnt update-initramfs -u dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc exit umount /mnt/proc umount /mnt/sys umount /mnt/dev umount /mnt reboot I had to fix up some filesystem brokenness on the first boot, but everything working again.
