I am having the exact same problem. When I use up2date to install a new kernel,
the machine will hang with the word "GRUB" after POST. I have to use a rescue
disk to re-install the boot block. (grub --version : grub (GNU GRUB 0.95))
The system is running 2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp, dual Xeon using software raid-1 on an
IBM e336 with two SATA drives. After doing a "fdisk -l" I am getting unexpected
messages about invalid partition tables:

Bug #114690 CLOSED/RAWHIDE grub-install won't install to RAID 1 Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point.
