Bug Description
Binary package hint: debian-installer
Installing Ubuntu 9.10 RC x64 on a Dell Dimension 9200 on a software raid array.
created raid 1 md0 for /boot and a raid 1 md1 for swap and a raid10 md2 for /.
installation fails with message "could not install grub to /dev/md0 this is a fatal error".
I forced it through to the end and then manually used install-grub to install each of the four dev/sdX1 paritions that make up my four disk raid 1 md0 array. From what I can tell this installed the old grub because I managed to boot up in to karmic once.
I then ran update-manager and it crashed but I noticed the hard disk was busy working so I left it alone and eventually the reboot dialog box appeared so I rebooted and obviously this update installed grub2 because again I can't boot.
