XenServer 6.5 Software Raid

software-raidxenserver

I try to install XenServer 6.5 with Software-RAID 1 at my home lab.
With XenServer 6.2 this setup ran stable for a few months (at the same hardware).

XenServer 6.5 installation went smoothly and boots up without any errors.
After enabling the kernel module with

echo "modprobe raid1" > /etc/sysconfig/modules/raid.modules

I followed this guide. Everything went fine until I have to boot from sdb.
I can see the XenServer logo (without the loading bar) for a few seconds, then the server screen goes black and a reboot happen.

Does anybody know what went wrong or what I can try to fix the problem?

You can also use e2label on md0 (RAID on first partitions) to add label on filesystem and make booting process independendent from /dev/md* names.
