Not sure what was the solution but I tried to make everything clean.
Booting in rescue mode, I fsck all 3 drives (unmounted).
Then, booting with only one disk. Then launch grub and install
everything by hand.
grub
grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0)
grub> quit
Then boot was OK. Then plug the 2 other disk and still OK now.
Thanks a lot for your technical advices.
