... and that's why I do not use grub whith software raid. It is much
more awkward to set up than lilo, there is no documentation, and it is
less reliable. Lilo at least displays some letters when something goes
wrong so you know what did you do wrong; grub just hangs without any
messages at all.
If you want fancy boot, go with grub. If you want reliable boot from an
md device, go with lilo.
