Thanks for any ideas.

I also had big problems when trying to boot after adding a
new raid (which shouldn't have been involved in the boot
process at all). I never figured out exactly what the
problem was for sure, but at some point I booted the
system on a live CD, chrooted into the actual root,
and did a yum update which installed (among other things)
a new kernel, and I was able to boot OK after that.

Either the initramfs was missing a module it needed
to talk to the raid, or maybe the grub.cfg was missing
a load of a module it needed. Not sure which, but the
installing of a new kernel fixed whatever it was.

new kernel would enforce the building of a new initrd,
wouldn't it?

perhaps that's all the OP needs to do to solve his problem...

Yes, that's certainly a possibility, but nothing new was introduced. RAID1 was already there because the root is RAID1.

The server is back in the colo, so I wonder if I could reproduce it locally here before making the drive (no pun intended, lol).

Thanks,
Alex
