[Bug 1065987] Re: error: embedding is not possible, but this is required for RAID and LVM install.

[Phillip Susi]

You are trying to install grub on /dev/md121, which is a raid device.
To do this, the underlying disks must have a bios_grub partition if they
use GPT.

It is trying to install to /dev/md121 because you asked it to in the
configure screen.  If this is not what you intended, you should uncheck
that drive as I suggested before.
