Another jmicron raid problem

Hi,

I've got arch64 and two 500GB hard drives connected in a jmicron jraid 1. Well everything's been dandy until an update I think a few weeks ago. Yeah I know I'm writing a bit late but now I have the time to attend to the problem.  So my hard drives were named like this jmicron_JRAIDx where x is the number of the partition.

my grub.conf looks like this

(0) Arch Linux
title  Arch Linux  [/boot/vmlinuz26]
root   (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/mapper/jmicron_JRAID2 ro nopal
initrd /boot/kernel26.img

# (1) Windows
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

So windows runs smoothly, but linux is trying to start up and writes that he cannot find jmicron_JRAID2 . That was a bit worrying, but I noticed that he sees jmicron_JRAIDp2 while trying to boot, so I changed it in grub conf and the kernel started booting. It failed on mounting the hard drives saying that I've got bad blocks or sth like that on jmicron_JRAID2 partition and that I have to fix it manually. So can anyone tell me what the hell is going on? Please;)
