Unfortunately:
1. Ubuntu 10.04 rescue option does not have scp and ssh (I wanted to
    scp them but could not), whereas CentOS 5.4, which has them, does not like ext4.
2. Ubuntu Live does not understand RAIDs
3. Thus the logs have gone with the CentOS installation
4. Moreover, I started badblocks -fsvw (red-write) tests just to be 100% sure of the disks

5. It runs pretty slowly

Once it's done (maybe tomorrow), I'll be able to repeat the installation of Lucid Server 64,
I have the partitions left.

Just to repeat (since you do not need logs to understand where the error is):

1. Partman assigned sda, sdb, sdc to my three 2TB SATA disks and sdd to a small 160GB IDE disk,
    despite the fact that
2. In the BIOS I set up the boot order: 1) IDE ,2) SATA 3) SATA 4) SATA
3. I made all the partitions on the small sdd
4. But grub flashed "installing on sda"

Obviously, it's a simple error in mapping the devices everyone makes now and then installing
grub by hand in presence of several disks
