i believe your dell machine configured the two disks in a fakeraid,
yet Lenny does not know (you did not tell it or you forced it to ignore
the fakeraid) and tries to use the two disks independently.
This will lead to problems since at every boot the fakeraid bios will
touch the two disks.
back up your data
decide wether you want to use the fakeraid or not
configure your bios accordingly
reinstall your OS accordingly
