Bug Description

grub hates my revodrive (http://www.ocztechnology.com/ocz-revodrive-pci-express-ssd.html), it installs, and then fails to boot and drops me to the grub recovery shell.

... okay, so I also have a stata raid1 array with mdadm, so i tried to throw my /boot onto that device, and the installer crashed (and this is the bug report for that crash).

Going to try this for the 3rd time. But so far we have an installer that thinks it works, but fails to boot, and an installer that also crashes.

It would be nice if mdadm was built into the install process. Most raid arrays are dead simple, I wish ubuntu's installer allowed you to setup a simple raid array.
