@Daniel T Chen : yes its reproducible even with 9.04 ! we cannot boot
from a RAID5 software raid using grub.

i can boot from software RAID1 , but not from a software RAID5 .
possibly this might be impossible by design, because in a raid5 (with 3
drives or more) we need ALL x-1 Drives to get propper data from it (boot
files). So a grub bootloader would must be able to handle our disk
controller (Drivers) AND software raid5 AND filesystem properly right
from the start.

on a raid1 any data is valid and readable from any one of the both
disks, so there is no additional need for reconstructing our data.

so i think this might be not possible at all.

i read somewhere that for booting we need at least a RAID1 for /boot or
"/" and a RAID5 for the less important stuff like user data.

someone please teach me wrong that it is supposed to boot from raid5
software raid using grub n linux.
