Intresting. At work we have 127 machines with SW-RAID-1 (running SuSE 
7.3, IIRC kernel 2.4.31) and if any of them drops a disk, there surely 
are errors on that disk.

I take it you've checked the logs (message log and S.M.A.R.T. -log) to 
see, if there would've been any indication of why the disk has been dropped.
