Umm, I maybe writing on complitely different setup (can't check the
original post), but our server with software raid 5 (3 disks) is booting

Q1: Is it true that Linux can't/shouldn't boot off a RAID 5 array?
LILO does not support booting off of RAID 5, and I don't think GRUB
does either. I usually make a small RAID-1 partition to boot from
(mirrored across all four drives), since LILO does handle that just
fine.
geometry = 2498/255/63, sectors = 40132503, start = 0

geometry = 39813/16/63, sectors = 40132503, start = 0
Is this an issue with software RAID?
No.
