No, but the fact that root is actually 'ext2' even though mount (and
presumably fstab) thinks it is ext3 is a bit suspicious.

If there are any "root=/dev/hdb1" lines in lilo.conf, I suggest taking
them out.
I think you currently have /dev/hdb1 as your root filesystem still.
You can easily check this:
mkdir /a /b
mount /dev/hdb1 /a
mount /dev/md0 /b
> /a-file
ls -l /?/a-file
If the ls finds "/a/a-file", then /dev/hdb1 is root.
If it finds /b/a-file, then /dev/md0 is root.
If it still doesn't work, post your lilo.conf
