This error appears if you have removed a disk/partition from a mdraid
array and forgot to `mdadm --zero-superblock' it.

Since version 1.96+20080831-1 the raid code had an overhaul, though
`array->nr_devs > array->total_devs' is still checked.
It should boot fine if grub-probe doestn't complain about it anymore.
