I have the following RAID1 configuration:
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 1
nr-raid-disks 2
nr-spare-disks 0
persistent-superblock 1
chunk-size 4
device /dev/hda1
raid-disk 0
device /dev/hdc1
raid-disk 1
The only one partition on my system is "root"-Partition.
It's mounted on /dev/md0.
Linux-Kernel: 2.4.18
Linux-Distribution: S.U.S.E 8 Prof.
Everything works fine beside of error recovery of hda1:
After hda1 has failed I tried to install a new disk instead of hda1 in the following way:
1. plug in a new disk on the place of hda1.
2. raidhotadd /dev/md0 /dev/hda1
3. install LILO
After the data on /dev/hda1 was synced with the data on /dev/hdc1 the /proc/mdstat contained:
Personalities : [raid1]
read_ahead 1024 sectors
md0 : active raid1 hda1[1] hdc1[0]
614784 blocks [2/2] [UU]
unused devices: <none>
!!! After system reboot, RAID didn't found hda1 !!!
Here is the output of dmesg while rebooting:

Personalities : [raid1]
read_ahead 1024 sectors
md0 : active raid1 hdc1[0]
614784 blocks [2/1] [U_]

My questions is: How do I recover the failed RAID1 disk (dev/hda1)?
What I did wrong?
