Thanks for your helpful comments, Colin.

I was the original poster and you are quite correct, my comment number 
33 closed the issue as far as I was concerned. It didn't fix the bug, 
but I reported an acceptable bypass as far as I was concerned.

There is something funny about installing a new intrepid/jaunty image on 
an existing grub multiboot system where hardy LTS is the current 
maintainer of the grub partition.

I'd like to help you, but I can't currently reproduce the problem. My 
original system was NOT a raid installation - it was on a laptop.

I recently upgraded a hardy LTS raid1 system using the intrepid 
alternate CD... I decided to do the upgrade direct, rather than as a 
multiple boot. I simply powered off the mirror hard disks so that I 
could instantly go back to Hardy if anything serious went wrong... the 
upgrade worked well. Although I had a lot of minor issues to fix, the 
grub upgrade worked perfectly, so I zapped the offline mirrors' 
superblocks and added them back into the (intrepid) active/degraded arrays.

I think it is a good idea to split some of these "duplicates" into new 
bugs, because I've reviewed quite a few that sounded fairly different. 
However, I don't know where you would start, so I thought I would mark 
your comment and mine as the end of a chapter (at least).

Regards,

Brian
