Title:
  ubiquity crashed with InstallStepError in configure_bootloader() on a
  fakeRaid system (nforce4)

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  grub advanced setting of step7 in ubiqity set to /dev/mapper/nvidia_dgfffeba (fakeRAID with two 4GB IDE disk in striping). 
  /boot partition on a third disk (90MB on /dev/sdb1). I choose this because of the many previous problem with grub2 using a simpler configuration.
