line 1574 of md.c is an MD_BUG which gets called if "analyse_sbs" returns non-zero. analyse_sbs returns non-zero only if the label "abort:" is jumped. Every "goto abort" is preceeded by an "MD_BUG" or a printk except one after check_disk_sb and one after alloc_array_sb. These both print messages in cases were they fail, except for alloc_array_sb which won't print a message if __get_free_pages fails.
So, if the message about "1574 of md.c" is the first message you get, then __get_free_page must be failing. It it isn't, please tell us the first error message that you get.
