I had this problem as well/ I'm running soft raid with raid-0 on Intel chipset. Upgrade all completed, but upon reboot I got grub_env_export error.

The problem is that the upgrade did not create a dmraid initrd image. I booted from live CD and CHROOTed.

Then did:

apt-get purge dmraid
apt-get install dmraid
grub install /dev/mapper/isw_jfijhfbah_MY_RAID
update grub.

Rebooted and everything was fine.

Needless to say that this would be way beyond a non linux expert. I had exactly the same problem when I upgraded from Lucid to Maverick. So to have exactly the same problem when upgrading to narwhal is extremely disappointing.

You need to start testing RAID installs and upgrades properly Ubuntu.
