Thanks a lot for your useful hints, Jochen. Unfortunately I cannot test your commands since the server is in production now. As I wrote before, the raid-5-array works fine with grub-0.5.96.1.
The grub-0.91 does a good job now booting a software-raid-1 root-filesystem - think I will never take another loader then grub on our Linux-boxes. Concerning your question there is no link for /boot/grub/stage1. There also is no link "boot -> ." I usually have in my separate boot-partitions. It shouldn't be required here since grub-0.5.96.1 also works without it in this special case. Maybe I should mention, the boot-partition is also a raid-5-array.
