I had lilo set for:

boot=/dev/md0
root=/dev/md5
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.20RAID
        label=RAID
        read-only
        alias=4

Are you using the raid-extra-boot option?  If you aren't you probably
want to be - it'll allow the system to boot if one of the boot drives is
dead.

Actually, I switched to grub, I wasn't aware of the raid-extra-boot
option, wonder if there is something similar in grub.

This may sound dumb, but are you sure you didn't compile RAID1 as a
module?  If you did, you'll need to use an initrd to load the module
before you mount root.  Otherwise, you'll need to rebuild the kernel
with the driver included in the kernel.

Yes, I did *not* build them as modules. Modules are too much of a
pain. :)
