CISS RAID recovering turns back to ready to recovery

I'm testing CISS driver (Proliant DL580 G1, Smart Array 5300/128 
V3.54, FreeBSD 5.4 cvsup'd to latest stable) simulating drives 
crashing and following rebuilding of RAID set.

With raid 0+1 all is handled nicely, except when rebooting.

When extracting and inserting back a drive, all signals from driver 
are OK, and RAID start to rebuild itself (status is "Recovering"), 
but after rebooting status changes and turns back to:

	pass0: <COMPAQ RAID 1  VOLUME read> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device

That means "ready to begin recovery".

So, how to handle correctly recovery?
