On both Debian and Ubuntu, I used to be able to run "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc", choose md0, sda, and sdb, and grub would be installed on all three.

I've googled both and not foudn anything to help. "0.90" and "1.2" are mdraid metadata versions. Were these disks previously in another array and do you now have two types of metada on them? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
