Hmm, do you have any idea whether the version of grub that you are using has
proper support for RAID devices? setup-storage does some hackery in that it sets
BOOT_DEVICE to the actual devices that make up the RAID device because earlier
versions of grub had no idea about RAID and LVM. I think, newer versions should
support it properly, but that will then depend on the version of grub you are
acutally using, meaning that we can either modify setup-storage to set
BOOT_DEVICE to /dev/md0 or hack the script to call device2grub for each device
(sda, sdb).

Nice to know!

HTH,
