Is this when you set your BIOS to boot the second disk?Hi,
this happens in both cases: when I set the bios to boot from the second disk and when I disconnect the first disk from the IDE Bus and the system boots automatically from the second disk. The second disk is slave on the secondary IDE connector (i.e. /dev/hdd) after the cdrom drive. Could this cause problems? The disks are from IBM and WD, but i think different disks of the same size shouldn't be a problem?
Using different drives in a software raid setup isn't a good idea, as they have different response times, and therefore don't run very well in unison. Far more importantly though, is the fact that you have one disk as a slave to a CD-ROM. This will slow the disk down to the DMA speed of the CD drive, and will thoroughly interrupt the throughput of the RAID array when the CD-ROM is used.
As far as the boot problem's concerned, it should work as long as there are only two hard disk drives in the system. From the fact that you get GRUB printed continuously, it would appear that grub has not been installed correctly, or can't access it's grub.conf. Remember, if drive 1 is disconnected, drive 2 becomes (hd0) in grub.conf!
