I've got this same problem, it seems.

I originally installed to /dev/sda.  I later added 2 new disks.  I
manually (with the Ubuntu GUI, anyway) made a RAID1 of them, and have
copied everything over to them.

Trying to install grub yields:


r...@thdesktop:/# grub-install --modules="mdraid raid" /dev/md0
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no mapping exists for `md0'.
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no mapping exists for `md0'.
/usr/sbin/grub-setup: error: no mapping exists for `md0'.


r...@thdesktop:/# update-grub
Generating grub.cfg ...
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no mapping exists for `md0'.


r...@thdesktop:/# update-initramfs -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-25-generic


Looking at /dev/md0 (and the disks that comprise it) I see no trace of GRUB 
having been installed there.

Do I need to redo the partitions?  Differently how?  With how much
dangling space?
