Thanks, what I did in the meantime:
Booted again from rescue media (Fedora 14)
ran fsck on the filesystems using modern fsck.
Once they were clean, rebooted and checked and it is not OK, and boots =
to login.
Now I am installing CentOS 5.6 on new disks ( 2 x 1TB using RAID1)
Then I will reboot one more time, and selectively copy over useful
data and configuration info from
the old RAID to the new.

A VERY big "Thank You!" to all.

Enjoy your chocolate.

p.s.: Note to future:
Start with asking: "please run mdadm --version " and report back.
If less that 3.xx tell person to boot with something newer.
