> The fakeraid bios handles requests for bios disk 80h correctly
But what is on hd(1) then? Exactly the same raid device, but appearing twice? I 
guess this is what has been confusing me into thinking grub sees the raw disks.

This was some time ago, and I would have to try again. I thought I had tried 
that mapping as well (since I mention it in comment #1). But looking at the 
update-grub script: it tries to convert the root (or boot) device to a grub 
root device. I think it failed converting my /dev/mapper/my_raid3 to (hd0,2) 
and instead returned (hd0,0) (the default, failover). Maybe the more lucky ones 
among us have their boot partition on (hd0,0) and then they won't experience 
this bug.

Anyway, for sure, running the installer CD things did not work, because
it didn't know how to handle having root on /dev/mapper/my_raid3.
