There may be more to your problem than this but you definitely have a metadata problem. Some more googing yielded RV and GAI as "raid version" and "get array info" so your previous mdraid metadata must've been v0.90 and you're new metadata's the Squeeze d-i default, v1.2. Since they're written to different parts of the HD, they can co-exist and must be confusing grub and lilo. I only know how to remove all metadata (with "--zero-superblock") so I have no idea how to fix your problem short of backing up your install, recreating your array, and restoring the install...
