Title:
  installer crashes on attempted install to mirrored drives

Status in “grub-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  When I attempted to install Linux Mint 8 x86_64 ( based on Ubuntu
  9.10) onto the second 500GB SATA drive of an HP dc7800, Ubiquity
  crashed (and the Grub installer failed). The drive was mirrored from
  the first drive in the original (Ubuntu 8.04) setup but both drives
  were seen by the system; I think I'd successfully enabled mirroring
  but never got the system to use the md device, mounting the drive
  using its original device name instead. No partitions were marked as
  RAID (all were type 0x83), but as the mirroring appeared to work I
  used the system in that configuration.
