Booting RHES4-U2 from mirrored disk

I'm trying to install RHES4-U2 in a mirrored SATA disks. I have 2 disks and during the installation, I defined all the partitions as Software RAID and eventually created RAID1 for each partition, including the /boot partition.

Install went smoothly but after the completion and during reboot, the screen simply displays "GRUB".

I booted from the install CD and entered the rescue mode to check the partitions and the grub.conf. The contents of /etc/fstab rightfully shows that all my partitions are mapped to the corresponding /dev/md? devices.

My question is, is there any limitation on grub to boot from a mirrored /boot partition?

Is there any other area that I should be looking at?

TIA
