I've wiped the disk (with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda and dd if=/dev/zero 
of=/dev/sdb) and then retried the installation.
This time, I've builded 3 md devices: md0 at the beginning of the disks, to 
hold the /boot partition, md1 to hold the swap and md2 for /. I've also 
formatted /boot as ext3 (not ext4) and / as ext4.

This is the partition scheme for sda (sdb is identical)
r...@gonzalez:~# LANG=EN_en fdisk -l /dev/sda

Disk /dev/sda: 73.5 GB, 73543163904 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 8941 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x0004a136

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1          19      145408   fd  Linux raid autodetect
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2              19         140      976896   fd  Linux raid autodetect
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda3             140        8942    70695936   fd  Linux raid autodetect


With this scheme, build from scratch within the installation, all went smoothly 
and the system is now in production.
I think the problem was related to
1) /boot formatted as ext4 and/or
2) the partition scheme was build in a previous redhat installation. I've 
reformatted the filesystems but not rebuild the md array in the first 
installation.
