It doesn't have this feature

Are you saying that grub's "fallback" does not work?


Reading the docs, this should not work. "Fallback" is good for a situation where either the kernel, initrd or root device cannot be found BY GRUB. In such a case, grub will detect the problem and fallback to another image. We're talking about a situation where everything is there, but incorrectly set up. Grub cannot know that there is a problem under such a situation.

This is from reading the docs. I'm trying this out and will let you know.

and it can't boot from a root that is on a RAID device.



I don't know about that. Check

and other stuff that can be found by googling for "GRUB RAID".


Hmm, better than I thought, but hardly good enough. This eliminates the use of the "fallback" for anything else.
