[Bug 1206952] Re: Fresh install 13.04 from Live usb stick to SSD (with 2 x RAID0 HDD)

[Phillip Susi]

According to the logs you selected /dev/sda, which is the default.  Do
not confuse the selection of where to install the system to with the
selection for where to install grub to.  The two can be different.  If
your bios is set to boot from the ssd ( /dev/sdc ) then you need to make
sure to select that drive from the drop down list for where to install
grub, not just assign the root filesystem to a partition on that disk.

Yes, I am saying it is not a real raid controller and you are better off
using Linux SW raid instead, unless you must dual boot with Windows,
which does not understand Linux SW raid, but does understand the fake
raid.  See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FakeRaidHowto for more information.

Title:
  Fresh install 13.04 from Live usb stick to SSD (with 2 x RAID0 HDD)

Status in “grub-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Trying to install fresh 13.04 onto a machine with a 128G SSD and 2 x
  1TB HDD in hardware RAID0.  I'm trying to get the OS onto LVM
  partitions on the SSD (just using the generic LVM install from the
  checkbox on the relevant dialog in the Install Wizard) and plan to use
  the HDDs for data etc, but I keep getting this Grub error.
