Did GRUB install the bootloader in both disks in the raid 1 set?

I still use lilo with my raid 1 configs and are unfamiliar with GRUB. It 
doesn't sound like you are doing anything wrong.

The difference is that with LILO you specify that boot=/dev/md0 and it will 
then install the bootloader in the mbr of both disks.

If the bootloader ends up in the wrong place you will notice this as a 
corrupt superblock on the XFS filesystem since they both want to go into 
block 0 of the partition/drive.
