Souto, >From what I've been playing around with it would seem that system imager has a problem with Grub when a hardware RAID set is involved. Granted I've only tested imaging DL380's with the cciss (HP 5i, 6i, 5302, etc.) driver, but if you build a golden client using Lilo as the boot, I'm almost certain you won't experience any issues.
