bug:
 booting grub2
 insmod mdraid1x
 ls
  (hd0) (md/raid)
 insmod lvm
 ls
  (md/raid) (hd0)
 ... lvm partition is not show ...

change algoritm because not getting the bug.
for some reason the "ls" command trigger the problem...
also the list of partition get reordered..
Bug also exist in GRUB2 (version 2.02)

this problem is in grub 2.06 (debian 2.06-8)
I have a LVM partition inside a RAID (mdadm raid)
Disk: (whole disk) => RAID => PV => LVM

Creation of disk (/dev/diskA)
 mdadm --create /dev/md/raid --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/diskA missing
 pvcreate /dev/md/raid
 vgcreate vgr /dev/md/raid
 lvcreate --name A --size 12M gvr

bug:
booting grub2
insmod mdraid1x
insmod lvm
ls
 (hd0) (md/raid)
... lvm partition is not show ...

work around:
booting grub2
insmod lvm
insmod mdraid1x
ls
 (hd0) (md/raid) (lvm/vgr-A)

-----
This problem was firts find in my machine that have 5 disk each partitioned in raid1 and raid5 ; the boot partition is in the raid1 (that is formated in ext4) so grub2 preload "mdraid1x" and "ext2" and boot perfeclty! The problem: I want to migrate the boot partition inside a LVM partiton (that is inside the raid5 that is the PV of this LVM), i do update-grub (that create a correct menu entry and include "insmod lvm") but "insmod lvm" is loaded after "insmod mdraid1x" so the boot partion is not show and cannot boot.
I reproduce this problem in a virtualbox so enconter that "insmod lvm" need to be loaded before "insmod mdraid1x" to grub discover the partition correctly
