Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97-1
Severity: normal
Not sure if this is documented anywhere (just spend a few hours on this and
Google didn't come up with anything) but grub-pc doesn't work with md devices
when they are using metadata 1.0. Even after doing insmod raid and insmod
mdraid, the devicesi simply don't show up. grub-install keeps comlaining that
'no mapping exists for' the mdX device.
I was just giving up on grub and trying to switch to LILO, which immediately
complained about the metadata version, so I tried recreating the device with
0.90 metadata in the superblock and sure enough, that made grub find it
correctly.
