Anaconda does not install grub to both RAID1 drives' MBRs by its own.
You have to do that manually. Several postings here on the list tell you
how, or see

So I suspect either your RAID1 failed and system tries to boot from the
non failing drive or grub was installed on the drive the system normally
does not boot from.
