No way to make the system boot.
I've disassembled the raid boot partitions, so that I've got /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 
and /dev/cciss/c0d1p2 containing the boot directory. The root filesystem is 
/dev/md0, I'm able to start from a live cd, mount /dev/md0 as root, mount 
/boot as /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 and execute grub-install /dev/cciss/c0d0 and 
update-initramfs -u. No problems, but when I try to boot from (hd0,1) I got an 
alert saying tha md0 does not exist and I'm dropped to a busybox shell again.
Is there any way to get more messages from grub, so to understand what Iìm 
doing wrong?

Is there something I can do except reinstalling the system?

Thanks,
Luca
