[Bug 881465] Re: ubuntu 11.10 crash at the end of installation with mdadm raid setup

[Jeff H]

Update:  I tried it with twice with 11.10, same partitioning scheme I
described above.  Installing GRUB failed no particular error message
given.  I went back and installed 11.04, and it worked fine.

I guess I'll have to pass on 11.10(for workstations and servers, at
least...), and hope it's fixed in 12.04.

  it will not continue with any installation of grub to other /dev/sd?? or /dev/md??, will return the same error of 
  error cannot install grub on /dev/sda

  and it will not continue even select "option - continue with out installing boot loader"
  so I click "X" on top left conner to close the error window, and it ask me to help report , so I am here.

  the installation complete hung up with disabled "Continue Testing" it highlight only "Restart Now"
  which I don't dare to click as yet.
