With raid1 you have two identical drives, and each one should work
independantly. Isn´t the setup so, that you can take out one and boot
te other drive without even having raid support? That would make sense
and would explain why you could boot from it with lilo.
Anyway, with raid0/5 that will fail.
May the Source be with you.
