[Bug 986252] Re: Installer crashed, unable to write GRUB to /dev/sda

[Phillip Susi]

You appear to be using a fakeraid.  You therefore need to install grub
to the fake raid array ( /dev/mapper/isw_ccccjejaag_VOL1 ), not one of
the individual drives.


** Changed in: grub-installer (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid
