grub-install fails an RAID1
Hi,
I've done a safe-upgrade today which upgraded grub:
upgrade grub-pc 1.98+20100804-14 1.98+20100804-14+squeeze1
The same for grub-common.
A dialog appeared which asked me to run grub-install. But that
failed. So i told the dialog to skip that part. Now I've tried
grub-install manually.
# grub-install /dev/sda
/usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: This msdos-style partition label has no post-MBR gap; embedding won't be possible!.
/usr/sbin/grub-setup: error: embedding is not possible, but this is required when the root device is on a RAID array or LVM volume.
My google fu is not very good on this issue.
