RAID Restore workaround for "Cannot Load Linux Kernel"

I am a system builder and mostly use two models of motherboard, one from Gigabyte and the other from ASUS. Many of the systems I build are RAID1 systems. I have been nagging Acronis since about Acronis 8 to get the RAID restore working and there are some improvements. It IS now possible to CLONE a local drive onto a RAID partition! But it is still not possible to RESTORE an Acronis backup file onto a RAID partition (as far as my own experience is concerned). What happens if you try to restore the RAID BOOT DRIVE c: from a file is that once Acronis reboots, you get the error message "Cannot load Linux Kernel" with an offer to reboot.

To workaround this problem, I have found the following works.
1) I take my master install file including OS and restore it onto a portable SATA drive in the normal fashion using another computer. This "restored drive" can possibly be the boot drive in this system, but it must be the "bootable" image you want to put on your c: drive.
2) I then connect the thus restored drive and connect it into my new system (with the RAID system already configured) and then go in the bios and change the boot drive to be the new drive I just added.
3) Then I reboot and the computer comes up booting on the newly connected drive. You could use an Acronis *.iso CD for this if you want.
4) Then I am able to CLONE my RAID DRIVE with the desired image which is present on the newly installed and booted drive.

If you have all your RAID drivers properly installed, then you can go back into the bios and change to boot off the restored RAID partition and you (hopefully) are ready to go. Disconnect the added temporary drive and you are complete.

HOPEFULLY, someday, Acronis will get the final glitch fixed that prevents Acronis from being able to restore the bootable RAID partitions. Some people have reported the same "Unable to load linux kernel" with single drives. This workaround should also work for single drives.

NOTE: If anyone has a procedure with fewer steps, PLEASE post it!
