Public bug reported:
I have had this problem with the installers for 11.04 and 11.10. When
installing the bootloader GRUB decides it should install to DEV/MAPPER
which is wrong and it fails. It then suggests trying DEV/SDA or
DEV/SDB, but I have a software raid so the correct choice is DEV/DM-0.
If I manually enter DEV/DM-0 it installs wonderfully. If I had not
known to try that, I would have been totally stuck as GRUB did not
recommend anything or let you look for anything to install to.
In 10.10 GRUB would recognize DM-0 and install there on its own.
