[Bug 1130036] Re: GRUB installer fatal error when i try to install Ubuntu whitout dual-boot

[Phillip Susi]

You appear to be installing onto a fakeraid array ( see
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FakeRaidHowto for more information ).  You must
choose to install grub to the array ( /dev/mapper/isw_bdidfcifaa_ARRAY1
) not an individual disk ( /dev/sda ).


** Changed in: grub-installer (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
