I then installed Ubuntu 11.04 from the Alternate CD and created some raid1 devices

Can't help you with the GRUB issue as I use LILO, however... Something that someone on this list suggested to me many year back has stuck with me and proven to be useful and that's to try to number the md devices the same as the sd (or hd in those days!) devices, so:

md1 : active raid1  sdb1[1] sda1[0]
md2 : active raid10 sdb2[1] sda2[0]
md3 : active raid10 sdb3[1] sda3[0]
md5 : active raid10 sdb5[1] sda5[0]

etc.

Is it still a good idea? I think so - anything that helps to reduce the possibility of mistakes is good in my books...
