Heya,
having trouble setting up GRUB2.
Here's the setup:
Hardware: Pentium 4, 2x ATA HD 80GB, 512MB
Software RAID 1 (metadata v=1.2)
md0 (Boot)
md1 (Swap)
md2 (root)
Live-System: Xubuntu 12.04 (32-bit)
LFS 7.4

grub-install (GRUB) 1.99-21ubuntu3.10
So yes I can use grub-install from the live system but somethings
wrong on that, too. Because when I boot I get into the grub shell (and
the version of it is 1.99-21ubuntu3.10)
In this shell I type the following:
set root=(md/0)
linux /kernel-3.10.10... root=/dev/md2 ro
initrd /initrd-3.10.10...
boot
This gets me to the point that it starts the kernel, finds sda,
sdb,..... states that it Failed to execute /init,
sh: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropiate ioctl for device
sh: no job control in this shell
and there it stops after some more lines from the kernel regarding
usb. It is not in a kernel panic because I can scroll the kernel output
