grub-pc installed was: 1.98+20100804-14. 

This is what happened when i tried to install with RAID0:

Mar  8 09:43:52 grub-installer: info: Installing grub on '/dev/sda'
Mar  8 09:43:52 grub-installer: info: grub-install supports --no-floppy
Mar  8 09:43:52 grub-installer: info: Running chroot /target grub-install  --
no-floppy --force "/dev/sda"
Mar  8 09:43:53 grub-installer: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: unknown 
filesystem.
Mar  8 09:43:53 grub-installer: Auto-detection of a filesystem of /dev/md0 
failed.
Mar  8 09:43:53 grub-installer: Please report this together with the output of 
"/usr/sbin/grub-probe --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map --target=fs -v 
/boot/grub" to <bug-grub@gnu.org>
Mar  8 09:43:53 grub-installer: error: Running 'grub-install  --no-floppy --
force "/dev/sda"' failed.

...but i did another installation with RAID1 and it was sucessfull and the 
system boots. 
It is also using version 1.2 as in the previous installation in RAID0.
