[Bug 1328320] [NEW] fresh install fails on RAID 1 with failure to update grub

[Martin G Miller]

Public bug reported:

doing a fresh install on an intel z87 motherboard with the intel soft
raid set up for RAID 1.  The installation only proceeds if I select LVM
in the how to install area along with use entire disk.  The install
prceeds normall until it tries to update the kernel at which point it
fails to update grub and the install ceases.  I suspect, it has written
grub someplace it should not have.  IF I try to start the insatall over
it says the LVM name is in use.
