Dear all,

Right after passing the BIOS, at the moment Grub is supposed to show it’s menu, my Debian Linux (Jessie/sid) system reboots.

I have been googling and testing for hours and can’t seem to find a way around the issue.

How do I solve this?

All testing and installing is done using Debian from 7.5 LIVE CD, command line only.

I have set up my RAID as follows:

Code:
root#debian:~# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1]
md3 : active raid1 sda4[0]
1458608960 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_]

md2 : active raid1 sda3[0]
5238720 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_]

md0 : active raid1 sda1[0]
102336 blocks [2/1] [U_]

unused devices: <none>
Partition table of running 4TB disk (only 1.5TB is currently used):

Code:
root#debian:~# parted /dev/sda
GNU Parted 2.3
Using /dev/sda

Mountpoints are set:

Code:

After chrooting /mnt I run grub-install:

Code:
root#debian:/# grub-install /dev/sda
