What version of SystemConfigurator are you using, btw? Anything < 2.0.8 has a very small chance of working right with grub. 2.0.8 should be ok. If it isn't, please post --verbose and --debug logs.
There is also no guaruntees of grub support on software raid. 3 sets of
mappings need to happen to make grub work (due to grub, linux, and devfs all
having different naming schemes for disk devices.) Only hdX and sdX devices
have all the required translation code in place.

There is no silver bullet. Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
