not good ..

- is the partition type set to "FD" and the boot flag ( a ) turned on

- i assume you have the raid modules in your initrd for the
  kernel you're booting

sometimes, some distro, bootloaders cannot boot from raid5
        - you are guaranteed to be able to boot anything from raid1

        - for raid stuff, always use grub from cvs checkout and/or 
        lilo from the primary lilo ftp site

        ( /boot on raid1 which is one of the few times oyu need
          a different explicit /boot partitions in todays PCs )
