First off, is it hardware or software RAID?  What driver are you using?

Assuming it is software....
Sending us the output of `cat /proc/mdstat` and `fdisk -l /dev/?d[a-z]-` would 
be helpful.  `mdadm -E ` of each partition marked as type FD (RAID) might also 
be helpful.

Do you have any idea what the structure should be?

I think the lvscan is showing you the default setup of your boot disk.

In general, the initrd should have the instructions to enable the software RAID 
devices, and automatically reconstruct them.  Basically, this is loading the 
raid modules, which search for disks with matching UUID of the array they 
belong to.
Having an up-to-date /etc/mdadm.conf is useful when you `mkinitrd`
If they don't automatically start up, you can use `mdadm --assemble` to put it 
together yourself.  fdisk -l (compare sizes) and `mdadm -E` can help you sort 
out which partition goes to which array.

lsmod should tell you if the sw RAID modules are loading or not.
