[Bug 1153293] [NEW] Install of 12.10 crashes with Grub error

[ntb]

Public bug reported:

First I tried to upgrade my 12.04 installtion to 12.10, but it failed.
"Writing GRUB to boot device failed". I google dthe problem and found
that an update to 12.10 could cause this error if RAID-0 is used.

I then opted to make a fresh install of 12.10, but the same problem
occured.

The rest should all be in the log-files.

Needless to say, I'm less than satisfied with all this...
