Now when I try to boot into md0 I get a kernel panic saying it is unable to

Why it is ext3?

If I modify the grub boot parameters to specify the root filesystem type as
xfs then when it boots I get an error 'XFS: bad magic number' and it stops
loading. If I run xfs_repair on md0 then it finds no errors

XFS bad magic number sounds like stepping on the XFS superblock at the beginning of the fs.


You did install into the MBR instead of the partition right?
You modified the /etc/fstab to read xfs for the / fs?

cheers
