If you are doing root raid, please also search for "grub mirror" on 
Google. RHEL4, and therefore Centos 4, does not handle root raid grub 
installation properly. It will only install on one disk and if that disk 
goes, you have a non-bootable system. Fedora Core 4 handles this 
properly from what I hear and so RHEL5 will too when it comes.
