The only explantion to me is, that I had the wrong entry in my lilo.conf. I had root=/dev/hda6 there instead of root=/dev/md2
So maybe root was always mounted as /dev/hda6 and never as /dev/md2, which was started, but never had any data written to it. Is this a possible explanation?
No. The lilo.conf entry just tells the kernel where root is located.
Can you publish your /etc/fstab and fdisk -l output?
thnx. following is the output of fstab, fdisk of both involved drives and my raidtab. (which reminds me to change the swap from raid to more single-partions)
