grub-install handles it automatically. grub-mkimage is for experienced users only. As for dynamic rescan it's implemented in 'lazy' branch

Yes, thanks, that worked. I had tried including part_gpt before mdraid1x previously but not in addition to biosdisk. Is there any posibliity of making it automatic or issue a warning with a hint?

you need to embed part_gpt first. E.g.
grub-mkimage -O i386-pc -o core.img biosdisk part_gpt mdraid1x

md v1.2 SB RAID1 over two disks with GPT partition labels, "raid" flag is set. (boot/grub is on md device.)

From a working grub boot shell (booting from USB) "insmod mdraid1x" sucessfully detects the array, but since /grub is on the md disk mdraid1x needs to be pre-loaded, but then the array is not detected!

Given it works manually loaded perhaps the mdraid1x detect function is called before the gpt partition code has detected the partitions? Maybe there's a need for scan/detect array command now that GPT labels can contain md devices with GPT labels?
