<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">In the mean time I
tryed Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">I installed the os on a
raid 1 (root, /boot and a swap).</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">It worked when I tryed
to boot from the first hdd alone and from the second hdd alone.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">But when I putted both
of them together again it failed. :)</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">Now it mounts the the
root partition as read only.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">The raids appear in
sync but they shouldn't be after booting from a hdd alone.<br>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">Thanks for the answer.</p>

With only one hdd Ubuntu freezes in a initial stage. On the screen I can
read:
Starting up ...
Loading, please wait...
Any idees about how can I fix this problem?

I don't know of any fix, and judging from
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/133663">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/133663</a>
there actually may be none.
But I was able to get the machine to boot with only one of the disks by
waiting till the prompt from BusyBox appears (may take a couple of
minutes), which should look like
BusyBox v<blubber>
Enter 'help' for <blubber>
(initramfs)
Then entering the following commands (History und <TAB>-completion are
available):
(initramfs) mdadm --assemble /dev/md0
mdadm: CREATE user root not found
mdadm: CREATE group disk not found
mdadm: /dev/md0 has been started with 1 drive (out of 2).
(initramfs) mdadm --assemble /dev/md1
<blubber (s. o.)>
(initramfs) mount -t ext3 /dev/md1 /root
(initramfs) [Ctrl+D]
On this machine /dev/md0 contains the boot partition, /dev/md1 contains
the root partition (ext3 fs). You'll have to adjust to your setup.
