Ok, here are the results. 'grub-mkimage --output=/boot/grub/core.img ext2 pc gpt _chain' crashes at the menu 'grub-mkimage --output=/boot/grub/core.img ext2 pc raid _chain' dumps me to the rescue console. I wonder if I am hitting the rescue console because of the "out of disk" error that I see when inserting the 'raid' module by hand? The partitions in my raid array are 300 GiB, which is larger than the 128 GiB limit imposed by LBA-28 addressing. If this is the case then I guess the error is really my fault and I should fix it by creating a separate partition at the start of the disk for /boot. However, the code that brings me to the rescue console doesn't actually print any errors, it just dumps me there, so I may just be barking up the wrong tree. :) -- Sam Morris http://robots.org.uk/ PGP key id 1024D/5EA01078 3412 EA18 1277 354B 991B C869 B219 7FDB 5EA0 1078
