Hi there --

I am running squeeze with a non-RAID boot partition and a RAID-1 main
partition.  I use GRUB2 as my bootloader.  My problem is the following:

When I have my Seagate FreeAgent USB hard drive connected to the computer,
it's unable to boot, instead it hangs with the "Welcome to GRUB!" message on
the screen.  Through copious use of echo statements, I've traced the problem
down to the following code block near the top of grub.cfg:

insmod raid
insmod mdraid
insmod part_msdos
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2

The first statement executes correctly; it hangs while trying to execute the
second statement, insmod mdraid.

Any idea what the problem might be, and how to cure it?

Thanks in advance,
-PT
