The problem here is that GRUB apparently doesn't recognise that the drive in question has LBA extensions, so when it tries to read RAID metadata (presumably from the end of the partition in question) it falls back to CHS which can't represent enough of the disk. Linux works, but Linux won't be going through the BIOS to read from the disk.
