Title:
  Installer fails to install grub into MBR

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

Bug description:
  I am trying to install Ubuntu 14.04 64bit on a slightly old desktop
  machine.

  Booting from USB works fine, the installation runs up to almost the end, but then reports it couldn't install grub into the MBR of my harddisk.
  My harddisk is a single SSD attached to an nvidia on-board raid controller in JBOD mode.

  In syslog it tells be something about an "unsupported raid level 255"
  and "chroot /target grub-install --force "/dev/mapper/nvidia_asdfdfss"
  failing.

  Since I used the same installer to install Ubuntu on another machine,
  I am pretty sure it's okay, and up until I decided to do a fresh
  install using an SSD, I had a Kubuntu 12.04 running on this machine
  with the same hardware configuration, except that I had a HDD instead
  of the SSD, so in principle it should work, somehow.

  Would be great if somebody has an idea what I could try next.

  Thanks for your support and let me know if I can be of any further
  assistance.

  Cheers,
  Karsten
