Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
Installation finished. No error reported.
This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map.
Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect,
fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'.
(hd0) /dev/sda

yes they did but at the stage when i was playing with the drives by
plugging them on and off the RAID started some problem then i remove
the drive from RAID (the faulty one) mdadm command and re-added the
