Bug#609804: Acknowledgement (Install failed: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: unknown filesystem.)

thanks

We investigate this bug and upstream made a bugfix patch r3076.

I had /boot on /dev/md0, which was based on /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1
But /dev/sdb also had mdadm superblock (last active in 2006).
That's not really correct situation, but not a rare one.

I think you should try to include this fix in squeeze.

PS. Looks like #593648 is the same problem and could be merged.

grub-core/disk/raid.c (insert_array): Ensure uniqueness of p->number
even if some elements have a name.
