[Bug 1307058] Re: Installer crashes when attempting to install bootloader

[Phillip Susi]

Hey Dimitri, it looks like the dmraid->mdadm transition isn't working
here: this isw array is still being activated by dmraid rather than
mdadm.  Any thoughts?

Title:
  Installer crashes when attempting to install bootloader

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  My system has 2 hard drives in a RAID 0 and a third drive by itself.
  I am attempting to install to the RAID 0.  My motherboard supports
  both BIOS and UEFI.  When booting via BIOS, I get an error that Grub
  failed to install to /dev/sda.  Manually selecting any other disk on
  my system fails.  When booting via UEFI, I do not get the Grub error,
  but instead a generic error that the installer has crashed (which
  prompted me to submit this bug report).  I have destroyed the RAID 0
  and rebuilt it, but the problem remains.  I actually can successfully
  install using the beta2 iso booting via BIOS, but when I update the
  system after installation, it tries to update Grub which then fails to
  install.
