Hello, 2.6.8 has known issues with software-raid. You can try a newer kernel, preferably linux-image-2.6.12-1-amd64-k8 from unstable - unless you are using udev, then you need to uninstall udev first (or use a backport).
is this problem reproducible with a 2.6.12 debian kernel? By the way: you should not use the -generic flavour wich is intended for the debian installer only, but either the amd64-k8(-smp) or em64t-p4(-smp) flavours depending on your box having an amd or intel processor. those kernels are optimized for the respective architecture (cache alignment, compiler options etc).
