Bug#596787: installation-reports: grub legacy writes incorrect menu.lst when disks are RAIDed

 system has two mirrored disks, /dev/md0 is boot, /dev/md2 is root
 
 selecting grub-legacy, and specifying either /dev/hda or (hd0) for 
 installation
 results in a menu.lst file with the line
 groot=(md0) and all of the boot sections starting with root (md0)
 
 at boot time, grub throws an error - it (corretly) doesn't recognize md0 as a
 proper construction
 
 editing menu.lst to read
 groot=(hd0,0)
 and running update-grub
 
 leads to a correct and functional menu.lst


Which image did you use for this?

How did you proceed to setupthis in the partitioning step.

We need that information in order to try reproducing the problem.

I was using the alpha1 CD image, somewhat old at this point.  Currently 
running an install with today's USB image, and it seems to have 
discovered the network card, loaded the firmware and is working 
properly.  Would probably be hard to collect the info at this point.  
Might be better to close the report.
