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).
