Uh huh, go and try. Next boot it's gone again.
running that command in /lib/udev/devices however made it permanent. 

Took way too long to figure tho. If the kernel devs feel like they need to 
hurl over a working system they better release proper docs for the 
replacement. And stop screwing with the syntax.
(Yes, wrong list, I know...)

echo 'DEVICE partitions' >/tmp/mdadm.conf
mdadm --detail --scan --config=/tmp/mdadm.conf >>/tmp/mdadm.conf

take a look in /tmp/mdadm.conf ... your root array should be listed.

mdadm --assemble --config=/tmp/mdadm.conf --auto=yes /dev/md0

Try this:

mdadm -Av /dev/md0 --auto=yes /dev/hda1 /dev/hdb1
   ^^

I have used this with success on many Udev systems. It will create
/dev/md0 automatic.

I'll see if I can so something in /lib/udev/devices.

Strange, what knoppix are you using? I recall doing it to fix an XFS bug 
with 4.x and 5.x.

Won't work, MAKEDEV doesn't know how to create [/dev/]md0.
