The disks are raided using the command to create the raid: mdadm -C /dev/md/d0 -ap2 -l1 /dev/sda /dev/sdb I've tried both the lenny v1.96+20080724-16 and experimental v196 +20081201-1 on x86 I can't get grub-install to work (fails with grub setup), and grub-probe only works properly for the symlink /dev/md_d0p1 not the /dev/md/d0p1 If I run grub-emu everything I can acess the raid disks and partions fine using the (md0) and (md0,n) fine, but I obviously can't install from there like I used to do from grub-legacy (I found it to be the most reliable way of installing grub legacy anyway). Has anything chaged since the december build that may have fixed this? If not, I'll pull the latest svn and have a hack and see if I can solve this.
