hi ya ralf
if you are using raid1 mirroring... the assumption is that oyu want to
be able to boot from the other disk when one of the disk fails...
- make sure you partition it for "FD" RaidAutoDetec type... not "83" linux
( dont use cfdisk ... use fdisk instead )
what does your /etc/raidtab look like ???
what does your /etc/lilo.conf look like if you're using lilo to boot ??
what does your "cat /proc/mdstat" look like ???
did you do raidstart and than mke2fs /dev/md0
