Ok, i'm sorry. I did consider both options, and because there was a lot of text i thought a link would be the best option. pc12 grub2 # grub-install --no-floppy /dev/sda /dev/md0 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. > -----%<----- explanation of the use of device.map Thanks for explaining, that really makes it more clear why i was doing things that didn't work out. > This is clearly not your use case, your array will need to > be > assembled by grub at boot, so you should not be creating a > device.map > and it is expected that grub will fail to boot with such a > configuration.

Ok, of tried two things: First i removed the md entry's from the device.map and tried to install: pc12 / # grub2-install /dev/sda *** glibc detected *** /usr/sbin/grub2-probe: double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x00007f78e019c0b0 *** After that a stacktrace (which i didn't include since my system doesn't have debugging symbols, if you think it's usable anyway i can send it). This actually repeats three times. Then i added an additional partition to my raid1 array, and waited for it to sync. After that the behaviour was almost similar, but with a different error message at the end: Path `/boot/grub2' is not readable by GRUB on boot. Installation is impossible. Aborting. Actually, the "double free corrution"s are new, it didn't do that yesterday so i'll check that out.
