Neil,

That did it! I set the partition FS Types from 'Linux' to 'Linux raid
autodetect' after my last re-sync completed. Manually stopped and
started the array. Things looked good, so I crossed my fingers and
rebooted. The kernel found all the drives and all is happy here in
Colorado.

Thanks ever so much for your comment!!
