I have set up raid1 on my boot partition, but I'm running into problems when I try to install grub. This is the error I get:

Code:
grub> root (hd0,0)
 Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0xfd

grub> setup (hd0)
 Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no
 Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... no

Error 15: File not found

grub>


However, the file is there:

Code:
(chroot) livecd init.d # ls -l /boot/grub/stage1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 512 Dec  1 21:01 /boot/grub/stage1


But on an md partition (md1p1):

Quote:
(chroot) livecd init.d # df /boot/
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/md1p1 125875 11019 108357 10% /boot



This is the layout of my raid1 (It's overkill to mirror on so many devices,but it makes it uniform):

Code:
livecd ~ # mdadm --detail /dev/md1
/dev/md1:
        Version : 0.90
  Creation Time : Fri Nov 30 22:17:53 2012

  Used Dev Size : 131008 (127.96 MiB 134.15 MB)
   Raid Devices : 6

           UUID : 4f30c46d:a50d0ec2:cb201669:f728008a (local to host livecd)
         Events : 0.18

    Number   Major   Minor   RaidDevice State
       0       8        1        0      active sync   /dev/sda1
       1       8       17        1      active sync   /dev/sdb1
       2       8       33        2      active sync   /dev/sdc1
       3       8       49        3      active sync   /dev/sdd1
       4       8       65        4      active sync   /dev/sde1
       5       8       81        5      active sync   /dev/sdf1


How can I solve this issue?

pgu,

Why did you partition the md1?
Thats not normal practice.
