- Did you marked the raid partitions as type 'fd'? (stop the raid
before doing that)
- Have you enough kernel support at boot time (i.e. compiled into
the kernel or if using modules, with a proper initrd image installed?
I mean, if drives are scsi, you have to had scsi support for them
at boot time, also for the raid level you are using. Either by compiling
them into the kernel, or by building a proper initrd image an reinstalling
lilo...
Hope it helps,
