Once grub chooses what to boot to, an error shows up and will sit on the screen for approx. 5 seconds

"Error: diskfilter writes are not supported.
Press any key to continue..."

From what I understand, this error is related to raid partitions, and I have two of them (md0, md1). Both partitions are used (root and swap). Raid is assembled with mdadm and are raid0

This error message started appearing right after grub2 was updated on 01/27/2014.
