Title:
  grub-efi-amd64 picks wrong UUID for root fs when using RAID and LVM

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When installing a system with RAID 1 on two disks on a EFI computer,
  Ubuntu installs grub-efi-amd64 instead of grub-pc. This should be the
  correct behaviour, but at the end of the installation, the system in
  unbootable.

  For info, Debian testing Wheezy, nightly build of yesterday (sep 5
  2011) is working, because it doesn't install grub-efi-amd64 but sticks
  to grub-pc

  I've testing with two identical drives in mirror, first with a GPT
  label, then with a MSDOS label. The result is the same, system not
  bootable.

  I have tested with Ubuntu AMD64 11.10 Beta 1, and 11.04. The result is
  the same with both releases.

  I would like to see a true UEFI disto being able to install with all
  functionnalities : RAID, LVM, UEFI, GPT, but there is still some work.

  The system is a brand new HP Ellite 8200 CMT (Core i7, 4G RAM).
