[Bug 476066] [NEW] 1.5 terabyte drives fail to boot

[Martin]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: grub2

I am running a typical RAID1 setup; it is as follows:

(md0) /boot is the first partition - it is RAID'ed but no LVM
(md1) /root is next, RAID'ed, no LVM
(md2) is a physical volume for LVM, and everything else lives there except swap
(md3) is swap, and it lives at the end of the drives.

When I am using 1T drives, I have no problems.  I can plug in a blank
1.5T drive, partition it, and add it to the RAID.  However, when I try
to boot from the 1.5T drive, the system hangs right after the BIOS
splash screen.  No GRUB messages are displayed at all.  This happens on
two different motherboards (ASRock and Gigabyte).

I am a software developer and am happy to help work on this if someone
can point me in the right direction.
