@ pgnet - mounting the devices "by-id" is an excellent idea - thank you.
Sometimes you have to leave your old paths and habits and think innovative :-))

Assuming, that the UUID of the md-devices remain constant, and all the md
devices find their physical devices by conventional device-path (true in my
case) all I had to change, was the /etc/fstab:

#/dev/md1 /boot ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2
#/dev/md1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/disk/by-id/md-uuid-081a1bd5:d2cfebd3:3d5369e9:2c7af0a6 /boot
ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2
/dev/disk/by-id/md-uuid-6c203ec1:9360f8ba:da20cf36:64ef942c swap
swap defaults 0 0
/dev/root_dg/root_dg_vol00 / ext3 acl,user_xattr
1 1

The workaround works. The XEN-kernel (Dom0) is up and running !! :-))

The original md0-device (still present in non-xen kernel) however is still
missing and a new md-device md127 is appeard:

Personalities : [raid1] [raid0] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [linear]
md127 : active raid1 sda1[0] sdb1[1]
200704 blocks [2/2] [UU]

md2 : active raid1 sda3[0] sdb3[1]
139243264 blocks [2/2] [UU]

md1 : active (auto-read-only) raid1 sda2[0] sdb2[1]
4192896 blocks [2/2] [UU]

unused devices: <none>

The /etc/mdadm.conf is unchanged:

DEVICE partitions
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid1 UUID=081a1bd5:d2cfebd3:3d5369e9:2c7af0a6
ARRAY /dev/md1 level=raid1 UUID=6c203ec1:9360f8ba:da20cf36:64ef942c
ARRAY /dev/md2 level=raid1 UUID=96498c7c:8cac6295:1f678b78:d723672a

I was hesitating, using the UUID's of the physical devices within the md-config
because of one big disadvantage:
In case of a disk replacement of the raid-systems, it would be more cumbersome
to fix the raid-devices.

The patch for setup-md.sh did not solve my original problem, the missing
md0-device. From my perspective it neither harms nor helps applying the
setup-md.sh patch (Attachment 262365 Details for Bug 461673).

Let's see, what the official solution will look like.

Thank you for your help
