Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98~20100101-1
Severity: serious
Grub2 enters the rescue mode after printing
error: fd0 cannot get C/H/S values
The box does not have a floppy drive. (And even BIOS is configured to
have floppy drive and floppy controller as absent.)
The boot partition is an MD RAID1 of two real disk partitions
(/dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1).
After typing "insmod normal" and "normal" (and nothing else)
the box boots fine.

I can't find the exact change that fixed it, unfortunately, which I
normally prefer to know before closing a bug - but I'll take Vladimir's
word for it given these confirmations. Closing, thanks.
