Bug Description

Binary package hint: grub

This bug is caused by the fix to Bug #33649. I'm opening as a new bug since that one is already over taxed.

When grub-install operates on a RAID device, the setup command currently looks like this:
 * setup --stage2=$grubdir/stage2 --prefix=$grub_prefix $force_lba ($hddev,$grubroot)

However, this does not appear to be working correctly. Instead, I think it should be:
 * setup --stage2=$grubdir/stage2 --prefix=$grub_prefix $force_lba ($hddev)

Note that the $grubroot partition is dropped from the actual device argument.

I will post a link to a bzr branch just as soon as I get a bug # from Launchpad...
