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



Quoting Miles Fidelman (mfidelman@ntcorp.com):
> Package: installation-reports
> Severity: important
> Tags: d-i
> 
> 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
