Bruno,

I've seeing this problem as well.

> From FC9 installer, I setup 3 MD's (/boot, swap and /).  It works
> great.  I make 
sure sdb has a MBR like sda.  And I also add a 2nd kernel in
grub.conf with
fallback=1 so if hd0,0 (sda1) can't load, it goes to hd1,0 (sdb1) for the boot
image.  root=/dev/md2 (which is / in my case).

Everything works great as long as both disks are present.  (I can boot from
hd0,0 or hd1,0).

But if I remove either sda or sdb, I get invalid argument in boot-up fsck.ext3
on /dev/md0.  It's like the kernel doesn't know to start up the /dev/md's
before
trying to fsck them.

If this has been fixed - what is the work around?  Thanks for bringing this back up.
