I have a similar problem, I have 2 drives installed and configured for Raid. The 2 drives appear in the partitioner as separate drives, but surely they should appear as a single drive? I installed Ubuntu 9.04 using the normal install which reported no errors at all.

After I rebooted the GRUB 2 error appeared stating that the file is missing. After some investigation I found that the Grub installer had actually installed on the second drive /dev/sdb not on /dev/sda. I found this out by checking the /boot directory only to see that the grub directory was missing. I then mounted the /dev/sdb drive and I can now see the grub directory!

The device.map file shows
(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd0) /dev/sda
(hd1) /dev/sdb

This is exactly as I would expect, but why did grub install on the wrong device mbr?
