I thought I would post a summary for this topic:
Thomas von Eyben was having a boot volume problem, which Tim Standing
correctly identified as a kextcache issue.
This indeed fixed Thomas's problem. He is up and running and he can
perform his cloning operation consistently now. ;-)
Tim's recommendation was:

This solution would apply also to an Apple RAID volume which is not
bootable, it is not just a SoftRAID issue, but could affect any RAID
(or non-standard Apple) volume booting under Leopard or Intel.
Keep this info handy, in case any of you ever run into this issue!
This boot problem is not 100% reproduceable, nor is it a very common
problem, but it can be very vexing when encountered, as it can be very
hard to figure out what is going wrong, and how to solve it. ;-)
Perhaps this and similar boot-root issues will be fixed in 10.5.3.
