[Bug 1072125] [NEW] 12.10 amd64 grub won't install on fakeraid on asus m3a78 pro

[jbld]

Public bug reported:

" same old story ": unity tries to install on sda instead of where it
was supposed to.

on grub-install it says it does not have success installing on sda and
proposes to try another partition to install to but choosing the right
device mapper does fail again.

On ubuntu 11.04 no problem so far, it was working out of the box, in the
last 3 releases ( ubuntu 11.10, 12.04, 12.10 ) there's no way to install
the bootloader; i will try to launch ubiquity with the option to NOT
install the bootloader and then install it from scratch... boring ...
:-)
