a couple of changes in /boot/grub/grub.conf file installed by the
regular installation on /dev/sda. During the RAID1 creation process
the grub from /dev/sda would mirrored into the RAID1 device and
appear on the MBR of both the disks.
As I said in the OP, I do see the grub menu with either of the disks
"unplugged" i.e. missing. The kernel does boot and the white
progress bar goes upto about 50% when the kernel panic occurs. I will
turn off the splash and see what comes up on the console. Gut
feeling -- I suspect the problem is with the initrd image created
with the "dracut"
