Hi Guys,

Hardware: its a IBM x3400 "M3" Box with 4*146gig harddisks,
configured as 2 RAID-1 (IBM ServRAID Controller) /dev/sda and /dev/sdb.

It was the grub2 bootloader.
Maybe a Bug in ubuntu 10.04 LTS?

Anyway, I've installed CentOS 5.5 Final x86_64 and everything work 
perfect ;-)


Regards and many thanks for your help.
