Bulk hackery, that's how.

See http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2004/05/msg03665.html

This worked for me insofar as I got GRUB to install, but I didn't seem to
have a menu.lst, despite the above saying I should have. I had to do further
hackery at a grub prompt along the lines of:

root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz ro root=/dev/md0 md=0,/dev/foo,/dev/bar
initrd /initrd.img
boot

where /dev/foo (and optionally /dev/bar) were the members of my /dev/md0.
(Optional, as in my case, I was trying to build a degraded RAID1).
If you have an md1, add "1,/dev/baz,/dev/blaz" to the above incantation.

Once I managed to boot into the sucker, I recreated my initrd for good
measure, and ran update-grub, and it built a menu for me. It wasn't for the
faint of heart at all.

HTH

Hi,

similar to the installation-reports bugs, I'm closing the grub-installer reports 
below.

These are reports for Debian 4 / 6 / 7 / 9 where grub-installer fails (for 
various reasons).


There have been numerous changes/improvements on this topics in the past, and 
also because of the age of the reports we should consider these problems as 
being fixed (or it is even reported in the bugs that they are fixed).
They are most likely of no use anymore for recent releases.

If you know, that the issue you reported (and gets closed here) is still 
existing in recent installation images, please file a new report for that with 
up-to-date details!

Thank you for filing these bug reports, they have been very useful at the time 
they were filed!
