I had the same same error after upgrading grub some weeks ago. I am running
softraid 1 with two SATA Disks. All I was trying failed. So at the end I was
installing a base system on one of the two harddiscs root partition and
reinstalling grub. After turning on the raid everything worked again fine.
You might want to use a livecd as knoppix to install grub manually.
