Bug#593648: grub-pc install fails on RAID1 (unknown filesystem)

Hi,

I've here a similiar problem. After rebooting a 2.6.32-5-amd64 machine with 
raid1 grub wasn't able to boot the system. Last Messages where like "Welcome 
to grub" and then falls back to "grub rescue>" shell.

I've booted with a squeeze installer cd into rescue mode and found out that 
installing grub onto /dev/md0 solved my problem.

Retesting this with
  dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc
I've choosen sda and sdb to install grub and the system wasn't able to boot 
again.
Doing the same
  dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc
and choosing /dev/md0 (which is also available) makes my system boot again.

For now I'm unsure if I also should install onto sda and sdb. I'll stick 
to /dev/md0 only and will test if I can still swap sda and sdb to boot 
successfully.

Hope this helps someone.
