grub> root (hd0,0)
root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0xfd
grub> setup (hd0)
setup (hd0)
But if you do:
root (hd1,0)
setup (hd1)
it does work, I think hd0/sda had a GPT partition that was not removed properly (what I did was just dd bs=512 count=1 the partition table from another drive since the partition table should be identical).
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no
Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
Running "embed /grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd1)"... 27 sectors are embedded.
succeeded
Running "install /grub/stage1 (hd1) (hd1)1+27 p (hd1,0)/grub/stage2 /grub/grub.conf"... succeeded
Done.

The new table will be used at the next reboot.

I can even do
root (hd1,0)
setup (hd0) and it will work.........but not hd0,0 even though both are in the same RAID array on the same partition
