I am running a imsm raid (intel ICH10r, named Gentoo) and a LVM on top of that (named lillen) that holds a LV named lillen-boot.
Now grub-probe does not find lillen-boot, but if you look at the log for grub-prob you will see it only looks at /dev/md/lillen and /dev/md0. However the LVM I want lies on top of /dev/md/Gentoo, /dev/md126 (or /dev/md127 for the general metadata). Could this be why it does not find the disk? lillen ~ # grub-install /dev/md126 which: no ofpathname in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.5.1:/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gnat-gcc-bin/4.3:/usr/libexec/gnat-gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.3) which: no nvsetenv in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.5.1:/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gnat-gcc-bin/4.3:/usr/libexec/gnat-gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.3) /sbin/grub-probe: error: no such disk.
