OK, I've randomly mounted partitions, and now I'm stuck because I don't
know what the original /etc/raidtab was.  /proc/mdstat just says:

Personalities : [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10] 
unused devices: <none>

which looks like nothing is used in any RAID set.  Autodetect seems not
to be working, perhaps because the ID wasn't set to 0xFD or 253.  Each
drive has identical partitions:
   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *           1           2       16041+  83  Linux
/dev/hda2               3          70      546210   83  Linux
/dev/hda3              71         138      546210    5  Extended
/dev/hda4             139        9682    76656636   83  Linux
/dev/hda5              71         104      273104+  83  Linux
/dev/hda6             105         138      273104+  83  Linux

and /dev/hd[aceg]1 is "/boot" on each one.

all the other /dev/hd[aceg][2-6] mount says:
 mount: unknown filesystem type 'linux_raid_member
obviously this is the raid.  But how do I get to it?

All "/boot"s mount ok and are readable with some kernel files and stuff,
however /dev/hdc1 give some errors:

hdc: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=585, sector=575
hdc: possibly failed opcode: 0x25
end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 575
__ratelimit: 22 callbacks suppressed
Buffer I/O error on device hdc1, logical block 528
Buffer I/O error on device hdc1, logical block 529
Buffer I/O error on device hdc1, logical block 530
Buffer I/O error on device hdc1, logical block 531
Buffer I/O error on device hdc1, logical block 532

Buffer I/O error on device hdc1, logical block 535
Buffer I/O error on device hdc1, logical block 536
Buffer I/O error on device hdc1, logical block 537

so it looks like there's some problems with hdc.  Are there any disk
hardware testing tools on the gentoo minimal live cd?

thanks,

It's simply unbelievable how much energy and creativity people have
invested into creating contradictory, bogus and stupid licenses...
