Raid on Dell 1750

[Stephen Carville <carville cpl net>]

I am trying to set up software RAID-0 with two 36G disks on a Dell Poweredge 
1750 an LSI controller.  I am using Redhat 9.0.  Partitions type are set to 
0xfd.

My raidtab looks like:

raiddev /dev/md0
        raid-level              0
        nr-raid-disks           2
        nr-spare-disks          0
        persistent-superblock   1
        chunk-size              64

        device          /dev/sdb1
        raid-disk               0
        device          /dev/sdc1
        raid-disk               1

When I do a mkraid, everyting looks good"

# mkraid -R /dev/md0
handling MD device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/sdb1, 35559846kB, raid superblock at 35559744kB
disk 1: /dev/sdc1, 35559846kB, raid superblock at 35559744kB

Format works too:
# mke2fs -j -L /mp001 /dev/md0
mke2fs 1.32 (09-Nov-2002)
Filesystem label=/mp001
OS type: Linux
Block size=4096 (log=2)
Fragment size=4096 (log=2)
8896512 inodes, 17779872 blocks
888993 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user
First data block=0
543 block groups
32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group
16384 inodes per group
Superblock backups stored on blocks:
        32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632, 
2654208, 4096000, 7962624, 11239424

Writing inode tables: done
Creating journal (8192 blocks): done
Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information:
<etc>

and /proc/mdstat sez everythignis working

However, lsraid reports:

# lrdaid -d /dev/md0
lsraid: Device "/dev/md0" does not have a valid raid superblock

and on a reboot, the raid is not reconstructed.

I cannot find any error in the log or dmesg

Any ideas on how to make this work?
