It works!:

md: Autodetecting RAID arrays.
md: Scanned 3 and added 3 devices.
md: autorun ...
md: considering sdc2 ...
md:  adding sdc2 ...
md:  adding sdb2 ...
md:  adding sda2 ...
md: created md_d0
md: bind<sda2>
md: bind<sdb2>
md: bind<sdc2>
md: running: <sdc2><sdb2><sda2>
raid5: device sdc2 operational as raid disk 2
raid5: device sdb2 operational as raid disk 1
raid5: device sda2 operational as raid disk 0
raid5: allocated 3224kB for md_d0
raid5: raid level 5 set md_d0 active with 3 out of 3 devices, algorithm 2
RAID5 conf printout:
 --- rd:3 wd:3
 disk 0, o:1, dev:sda2
 disk 1, o:1, dev:sdb2
 disk 2, o:1, dev:sdc2
md: ... autorun DONE.
 md_d0: p1 p2 p3 p4 < p5 p6 p7 >

I will test it in another machine with raid1 later. If something
goes wrong there, I will report.
