[Bug 386802] Re: grub-setup crashed with SIGSEGV in __libc_start_main()

I hope I'm not out of line posting this here...  but here's some more
information on this:

Hopefully it will help those who are still having similar issues...
Here are some similar issues (or some may be duplicates?) :

The one particular explanation that seems to fit my case the best is one that occurred about a year ago in the grub mailing lists, where the bug was related to grub-probe (or lvm ?) mistaking an element of a RAID device as being an LVM physical volume.
In my case one of my physical volumes on my LVM is a 30GB mdadm raid0 device.
Of course this was considered resolved a year ago.
here's a link to that conversation:

Again, something like that makes the most sense in my situation. I am having trouble getting the lvm moved off the mdadm raid0 device, so I can't yet test to see if that fixes it.  I'm guessing I have a bit of data corruption on /dev/md0 (I get a no volume label for md0 error  on "fdisk -l" .  I'm doing some thorough scans on my VolGroup now.
If I resolve it I'll try and report back here.
