It isn't. We'll need to see the panic, and the things leading up to it, 
to be able to diagnose what's happening.

Does your kernel have the software raid compiled in, or as modules? If 
it's modules, you'll need an initial ramdisk (initrd).

You can add hda2 to the array, after you've successfully booted off the 
array.
