Server running md raid boots to grub> prompt
Issue
- When a server is booting from an md raid, and the first disk in the raid has an issue with the md device that
/bootis on, but the mbr is still present. Grub will drop the server into thegrub>prompt, because the/boot/grub/grub.conffile is referencing(hd0,0), and grub has no way of telling that the server is running a md raid. So it is not able to find the/boot/grub/grub.conffile on(hd0,0).
